Joanne first got involved with the Rising Sun Arts Centre in 2009, putting on local band gigs at the centre to raise money for Oxfam. Since then, Joanne has house managed other events at the centre, done the odd bit of bar & door work, and is part of the marketing team.

Joanne manages the Rising Sun Arts Centre's Twitter account, can be found performing at most tribute nights, and is also proud to have manned the front desk/wristband exchange of every Here Comes the Sun festival so far.
