Please help TISM roadie Andy’s family.

Andy Sutherland passed away peacefully in the arms of his wife surrounded by love.

Andy was one of TISM's long-time roadies. Over more than 30 years, without Andy’s noble heroics, many masks would have been removed and many members lost in the depths of the crowd.

Armed with a fistful of balas, Andy would launch himself fearlessly deep into the mosh, intent on not only retrieving the band members, but doing so as gently as possible so as not to harm fans or others.

Apart from looking after TISM fans and band, Andy had a landscaping business, a wife and three kids, and a beautiful soul. What Andy didn’t have was a bank balance, insurance, or superannuation.

Andy’s family have lost their hero. They are numb, shocked and devastated to lose their hero – a man who was, in a way, a hero for us all. Andy will be greatly missed and his memory cherished for many years to come.

Please donate to provide Andy a worthy sendoff, and help Andy’s bereft family over the coming months of despair.

Andy had a warm loving heart – please open yours and give generously to help the man’s family in their time of need.

This fundraiser is being organised by the David Roy Williams team, who have worked closely with Andy for many years. When the fundraising goal has been reached, or after we get as close as we can, the funds will be withdrawn and sent directly to Andy's family.
