Organisers are putting the final touches in place to the August 21 festival. And to say thank-you to the hardworking healthcare heroes who have been vital to tackling the pandemic over the past 18 months, they’re giving the 1,000 tickets to health workers. Director Jack Summers said:“It’s an honour for us to be able to give something back to the NHS, which has made huge sacrifices in the last 16 months. We are beyond grateful for everything they do. “NHS employees as well as their friends and family will be welcomed to Live at Lydiard with a huge smile and open arms from every member of our staff and I personally guarantee that we will do everything we can to make this day as special as we can for them.”

Words by Coco Veldkamp
The lives of CLAMM’s Jack Summers and Lulu’s Records’ Yasmine Sharaf aren’t underlined by the 9 to 5 or colourful salaries. They haven’t chosen the easy road, but they’ve chosen the most gratifying.
On the edge of reason, the edge of conventionality and the edge of the Melbourne music scene, frontman of punk rock band CLAMM, Jack Summers, divulges his vendetta against the 9 to 5, the black dog and the state of contemporary Australia.
Having worked a bunch of odd-sod jobs to support his creative endeavours, and now taking a leap of faith, as he puts it, into his music, the 23-year-old wants anything but to be a cog in the system, despite admitting it would make his life a whole lot easier.
