A Variety Night for Brian was a music night held at the Murrah Hall on Saturday night, attended by over 200 members of the region's community.

They had come together to support Brian Boulter, a 49-year-old musician and father of four who with diagnosed with melanoma last August then developed leptomeningeal disease - a rare complication of cancer for which there is no cure.

While Mr Boulter is in Pambula Hospital he was aware it was being held and his partner Jemma Wright and their children were there on the night.

Co-organiser of the event Maggie McKinney said Mr Boulter was "hanging in there".

"He seems to by very resilient, however he's not always aware of the situation," she said.

"In one of his more alert moments, he was told about the show and was absolutely blown away by the love and support of the community."

His friend, bandmate and co-organiser of the event Sats Kramer said Ms Wright, Mr Boulter's partner of 19 years, was "overwhelmed and really thankful" by the response from the community.

"I don't think Jemma realised how much were were going for, how much I had in my head," he said.

"We more than met it.

"It will make a massive difference."

Mr Boulter had played with the majority of the bands that performed at the event and it was supported by over 30 local businesses.

"It was pleasing to see everyone show up and give so generously," Mr Kramer said.

"I want to give a massive thank you to everyone in the community who came.

"Thank you to all the businesses who donated and most importantly thank you to all the bands who played for free."

He also wanted to thank Phil Phree and Scott Baker on sound and the projector for donating their time, as well as Howard Stanley and the Murrah Hall Committee.
