Welcome
I was fortunate enough to attend BIGSOUND last week in Brisbane. The buzz and atmosphere was engaging with musicians, producers, artists and audiences discovering the depths and diversity of Australian talent. Conversations and discussions flowed from lectures, pitches, gigs and panels with a range of different fields and topics highlighting the commonalities and differences that connect us together to make up the Australian music community.
As always, become a Music Australia member, follow us on Twitter and Facebook, and share your news, as we bring you the latest music info.
Cheers,
Rhonda Davidson-Irwin
CEO, Music Australia
