On 23 Febuary at Mayfields in Fitzroy, ARRAS members had a great night of R&R. It was our first fund raising event in some time. We would  like to thank Hound Dog’s Bop Shop for supporting the event. Two of Melbourne’s finest R&R bands, Slick Crusty And The Salty Racers and The Flying Saucers made themselves available to help ARRAS.  Mark ‘Hepcat’ Heylbut and Darren Paull were Deejays spinning lots of rockin’ tracks. A number of other people worked  tirelessly to ensure the night was a success. ARRAS wishes to express its thanks to everyone involved. Without our hard  workers we would have no ARRAS. 

Please support these great bands.
