His songs have been recorded by Frankie Davidson, Doug Owen, Layabouts, Bushwackers, Gong, Mills Sisters, Troubadours, German Choirs, Sai Baba Ashram Choir and many more.
His soundtrack and movie contributions include Monkey Mia, Waterborn, Give Trees a Chance, Nearly Normal Nimbin, Reef Reborn, Earth First & multi award-winning Blowpipes and Bulldozers. Mookx also wrote the original soundtrack and characterisations for the animated movie FernGully.
Mookx pioneered locally by instigating the local Dolphin Music Awards as well as the Nimbin, Mullumbimby and Byron Folk Clubs. He was also instrumental in protecting Terania through non-violent peaceful (and musical) action, and many other trailblazing acts, including activism towards the legalisation of busking in NSW.
Come and celebrate Mookx, our local legend whose own work stands proudly along his popular collaborations. Keep in mind that the event will be recorded and filmed so please respect the performers and the sound quality of the event.
PLEASE NOTE: ENTRY BY DONATION (Suggested $10 and up)
