EPIC Fundraiser for Coorabell Hall

EPIC was founded by the incredibly multitalented and visionary musician, the late Jesse Balfour (1967-2024). Jesse had one main aim for EPIC: To play the songs that other cover bands won’t.
When Jesse put EPIC together, he ensured the following: All songs in the EPIC repertoire have been hits on a grand scale, and EPIC reproduces each song with accurate respect to the original, representing all critical parts with class and flair while still allowing the members’ personalities and musical influences to shine through.
This is all delivered through state-of-the-art sound and lighting production at every venue.

Byron Bay Film Festival Screening: YURLU | COUNTRY
Q&A with the Director Yaara Bou Melhem after the film.
6PM - Doors open for food and drinks
7PM - Movie starts
A vivid ode to Country and an intimate portrait of an Aboriginal elder’s final year as he strives to preserve his culture and heal his homeland, scarred by the largest contaminated site in the Southern Hemisphere.
Banjima Elder, Maitland Parker, calls his Yurlu (homelands) “Poison Country” – a haunting, toxic truth etched into his body. Set against the breathtaking yet contaminated landscapes of Western Australia’s Pilbara region, YURLU | COUNTRY lays bare the devastating impact of the Wittenoom asbestos mines, where millions of tonnes of waste laced with deadly asbestos fibres have poisoned both land and people. It’s Australia’s largely unknown Chernobyl-scale disaster and it’s on Banjima lands.
This is Maitland’s legacy. YURLU | COUNTRY will honour and immortalise it.
