Soul Fly Buddies

Updated: Oct 1, 2024


"I’m glad we all have place to come together...."


Each and every month we bring you the news and views from those who make up our user-led team, Soul Fly Buddies.


This time we hand the mic to Audrey, who tells us more about recent catch ups with her buddy, Kristy.


"Recently Kristy (below right) and I (below left) went to Sydney Zoo with her 1 year old son, Jackson. We had the best day out and it was a lot of fun. Sometimes we catch up coffee or go to the local markets.

In May we celebrated with Gig Buddies for their 9th birthday party. It was a lot of fun to catch up with everyone, have some food, have a dance and also help with picking out a name for the Gig Buddies’ car, now named Gigi.


I’m glad we all have place to come together."


- Audrey

On the subject of our user-led team, they’re on the lookout for THREE new members.


For those not in the know, Soul Fly Buddies, formerly known as Soul Fly Band, is the project’s advisory group. Made up of participants from Sydney and the Central Coast, they meet monthly, advising and overseeing the ongoing work of Gig Buddies.

  • 1x member from the Southern Sydney area. This means buddies based in any of the following council areas can apply: Sutherland Shire, St George, Georges River, Liverpool or Bayside.
