Music and wine - Pop-up fundraiser for Artists for Orphans

 Internationally acclaimed harpist, Mary Doumany will be a special guest at 

a fundraising event in Kyneton for Artists for Orphans.

Live music in an intimate wine bar setting is the foundation for Artists for Orphans' (AFO) latest fundraiser.

Proceeds will support AFO and its work to assist orphaned children, particularly those affected by Agent Orange, widely known as a chemical warfare herbicide used in the Vietnam War and still causing birth defects.

The event, Marcie Jones and Friends, will be hosted at Ruby's Pop-Up Wine Bar, at Ruby Cafe, Kyneton.

"While you enjoying a glass of red, white or beer and listening to the superb live music, you will be supporting Agent Orange affected and orphaned children in Vietnam," AFO founder and event organiser, Roni Wildeboer said.

Roni plans to run the event monthly, starting on Saturday, April 6, 7-11pm.

The opening fundraiser will feature special guest performer, internationally acclaimed harpist, Mary Doumany.

"(It) will be a great night and will also raise funds for Artists for Orphans Inc.," Roni said.

The event will recreate the wine bars of the 60s and 70s, Roni says.

"We want to revive the wonderful, cosy atmosphere of those bygone days.

Tickets are limited and available at Ruby Cafe, $20.
