As an artist, I am so excited to be part of this initiative and urge the support of the wider community to get behind it.”

Simon has been a wonderful supporter of MLF, and  in June 2010, Simon;the wonderful Sydney based jazz pianist Kevin Hunt; and the sublime Ukranian violinist Mariia Gorkun, all gave up their valuable time to put on a fantastic concert so as to help us raise funds for our Malawian office.
