On Saturday, Dee Dee Lavell’s Celebration of Life concert will be held at the Courthouse Hotel.
Singer/songwriter Dee Dee Lavell was a much-loved and respected resident of Mullumbimby for many years. Dee travelled the world performing and was one of the original members of The Honeybees.
She played at festivals and top venues around Australia, releasing two successful albums both here and in the US, where she lived for many years until she sadly passed away in 2023.
To farewell this popular, sassy woman – with a big heart and a big voice – friends from Sydney, Northern Rivers and Brisbane are coming together to present a night of music celebrating her life.
The Honeybees, featuring Tina Harrod, Belle Hendrik, and Liza Ohlback will present some of Dee’s favourite songs with Greg Ohlback, John Hill, Andy Thompson, Rod Coe and Steve McLeod.
This stellar lineup includes Peter Claydon and Barry Ferrier, Barry Milan, Andrew Baxter, Kellie Knight, Rebecca Ireland, Ilona Harker, Amanda Jane, Shelly Brown, Miss Amber and Stukulele, Clelia Adams and Doug & Biskit.
Join them for a night of music with a spirit and verve Dee would be proud of.
Courthouse Hotel, Mullumbimby, 7pm on Saturday, 10 February. Tickets are free – donations would be appreciated to cover expenses.
