Amby's Army Forever 18 -Sgt Hulka Duo and Shanks Pony Duo

FOREVER 18 is the first fundraising event by charitable group Amby’s Army who are raising funds and

awareness for youth suicide prevention.

Established in 2025, the group honours the memory of Amberly Lynch, who tragically lost her battle with mental

health in 2023 at just 18 years old.

Amberly was an inspiring musician/artist who brought friends and family together for her last performance on

her 18th birthday.

Amby’s Army intends to keep her spirit alive by presenting musical performances with proceeds going to the

Amby’s Army fund.

Join us for an unforgettable night of music featuring an incredible lineup of artists:

Sgt Hulka Duo

Fusing vintage sounds with a contemporary attitude, The Sarge in Charge is a force that commands your

attention. The two-time WAM Song of the Year nominee (’23 & ’24) and WAM award nominee (best keys/synth

player ’23) has blended her love of soul and blues into a unique blend of impressive piano chops and badass

vocals.

Shanks Pony Duo

Shanks Pony was formed in 2005 and released their debut CD, A Year in a Pub, at Clancy’s Fish Pub Fremantle

in June 2007. Soon after, they landed a Saturday night residency at Fenians Irish Pub, which ran for nearly a

decade. The band continued to perform at various venues until March 2020. Pete Varcoe and Todd Lynch

(Amberly’s dad) will be keeping the spirit alive as a duo, playing all the classic Shanks Pony tunes you know and

love.
