Heart Of St Kilda with Luke McGregor

Why are you giving your talents and time to Sacred Heart Mission’s Heart of St Kilda Concert?

I was told that if I do the Heart of St Kilda Concert, Sacred Heart Mission would organise for me to be a lead in the new Ghostbusters movie. I think they may have been joking but I need to know for sure.

 

What’s the best thing about being involved in a fundraising concert with so many big names from Australia’s entertainment industry?

I’ll have stuff to brag about at my next school reunion. I’ve already had my five-year reunion and it didn’t go so well, so any ammunition I can take to the next one is appreciated.

 

How do you think a concert such as this can highlight the work of the Mission and the issue of homelessness in our community?

Anything that reminds us that the issue exists and there is something we can do to help is important. When you regularly see someone sleeping on the street, you can become desensitised to it. Events like this remind us that homelessness is an issue that can and is being tackled, and it is within our power to help.

 

What can the audience expect from you on the night?

Me standing up, talking into a mic, hopefully saying funny things. Probably sweat marks under my armpits. It can happen when I get nervous and I apologise in advance. I’ll wear a dark shirt so you probably won’t even see them.

 

LUKE MCGREGOR performs at Sacred Heart Mission’s Heart of St Kilda Concert on Tuesday September 22 at The Palais Theatre.
