For the last nine months, the Soundshell amphitheatre, located at The Terrace in Brunswick Heads, has housed a community piano.
While it has been enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, it was recently damaged by vandals. Last Friday, it was kindly repaired by local piano tuner and composer, Norman Appel.
Norman’s services on a voluntary basis
Resident Laura Upsall told The Echo, ‘Norman has provided his services on a completely voluntary basis, and the community is most grateful. He has also recently dropped a new album, The Tallowwood Sessions: normanappel.bandcamp.com.
To help with the cost of these extensive repairs, unsolicited financial assistance has been most kindly donated by Lauren Archer, head veterinarian at North Coast Veterinary Services, and the Footbridge Cafe’.
