IT’S ON AGAIN! GUNDAROO MUSIC FESTIVAL
10 October 2015
in partnership with Motor Neurone D isease Association of NSW
The Gundaroo Music Festival was the vision of a talented local musician, Scott Windsor,
who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in November 2012. MND is a
degenerative disease affecting the nervous system. Sadly, Scott passed away on 17 April
this year. The Gundaroo Music Festival now becomes his legacy.
Scott’s vision was that the Gundaroo Music Festival would become
an annual event with proceeds going to MND research for a cure.
Scott’s vision has paid off: the Gundaroo Music Festival is now in its third year. It is a
family-friendly big day out, with non-stop entertainment from 10am to 10pm. In 2014, we
saw Daryl Braithwaite perform to a crowd of over 2,500 people, and we raised over
$40,000. The festival includes a fully catered VIP Marquee, live bands, a spectacular
fireworks display, motor club displays, a kids zone, market stalls, wine tastings,
international food stalls and more. This year, we are excited to announce Mental As
Anything as our headline act.
As a sponsor, you will be able to enjoy the Gundaroo Music Festival
from the comfort of the fully catered VIP Marquee.
We are grateful for the generosity of those who attend the festival, and for our large team of
local volunteers. But we also rely on the generosity of organisations and businesses such
as yours, who can support us by sponsoring the festival this year. Sponsorship packages
are detailed below, and can be tailored to suit your business. Alternatively your business
can donate a good or service to be auctioned at the Gundaroo Music Festival.
Fully catered VIP passes are limited and tables are filling fast.
We would love your support—please get in touch with me today!

Scott and Sue Windsor
Scott and Sue Windsor lived in the Canberra area for many years. Gundaroo was home for
them and their two young girls, Jess (13) and Emma (9). Scott set up his business, Fine
Finish Automotive, in Fyshwick in 1996, but sold the business in 2012 after being
diagnosed with MND.
Scott was a drummer for many bands over the years, both here in Canberra and in
surrounding districts. Scott’s musical career began at the age of seven, and his style and
his ability to play with many bands was well known. He played with bands including Brittle
Jack, Sean Hale, Bent Fender, the Windsor Daniels Band, Dianna Corcoran, Ernie Van
Veen, Dorothy-Jane ‘DJ’ Gosper, The Bridge Between, The BordererS and many more.
Scott also enjoyed volunteering his time to mentor young students at the local primary
school in Gundaroo. He also gave individual tuition to young drummers, and took great
pride in their development.
Scott always supported local and regional charities, and he was often called upon to lend a
hand at the Canberra Country Music Festival, both for his technical knowledge and for the
supply of high-end sound equipment.
It was Scott and Sue Windsor’s vision to hold the Gundaroo Music Festival on a yearly
basis, with proceeds going to the Motor Neurone Disease research team. Their vision is
now a reality.
