CHORDS FOR ANGELS
Dear Friends and Colleagues
It’s been just over a year since my near-fatal accident in Knox Gorge, Karijini National Park and I’m healthy again and enjoying life. This is because some wonderful ‘angels’ appeared from the gorge to administer first aid and help until the State Emergency Services, St John Ambulance and the Royal Flying Doctor Services arrived to save my life
.
Some musician friends and I are putting on a special concert to say thank you for my life and thousands of other lives that are saved every year.
Please come along and help support these marvellous organisations; all concert proceeds go to these Emergency Services

Join this lively night of dance and listening music: rock, jazz and folk favourites old and new. It’s a public thank you to the State Emergency Services and St. John Ambulance, The Royal Flying Doctor Services and volunteer tourists who together took life-saving action to help award-winning landscape photographer (and well known 60′s musician) Nick Melidonis when he had a serious fall when photographing Knox Gorge, Karijini National Park in 2010.
We have created a Chords for Angels website, with the fascinating story and photos of the rescue. It was 48 hours of coincidences that combined to save a life.
Please click on Chords for Angels to go straight there and read stories on the blog from the rescuers.

are here on the Fly by Night website.

Hi Christian,
Thanks for adding this information on your blog.
I was searching for information on the Chords for Angels concert and just came across it.
As one of the organisers I am happy to confirm that $6,675 was raised from ticket and CD sales from the first concert . It was a great night – photos of the event , taken by two of Nick’s colleagues at The Fly by Night are now on the chords for angels website. Not sure if I can put a link here but if I can it is

I think the musicians are all planning to give up their day jobs after the fantastic audience response to the concert.
thanks again
Julia
