The result, as referred to in Patrick’s report, was a significant investment from Creative Victoria who readily understand the central importance of safeguarding live music. Never before has the economic, social and cultural impact of music been so profoundly evident. Our second response was to offer free membership. Whilst this meant a hit to our budget, the Board took the view that offering a connection, a sense of belonging and support to the industry was of paramount importance. -

Press Release
"This album is the culmination of everything I have learnt so far packed together on one record," says Stephen Cummings of his new album LOVE-O-METER. "It has some slick pop and rock songs and some funky things, not forgetting my trademark twisted bittersweet ballads." Stephen Cummings’ 2004 album, Close Ups was a highlight of his incredible career. It is an acoustic reworking of some of his best known and favourite songs, going right back to his first EP with The Sports. Few artist catalogues have been revisited and reinvigorated with such imagination. Close Ups prompted Stephen to try some different styles and flavours on LOVE-O-METER. The textures are rich with a depth of sentiment that can only be garnered from experience. The Melbourne singer-songwriter first experienced success when his band, The Sports clocked up three platinum albums and broke into the US and UK Top 40 Charts. Since then he has concentrated on solo albums, most of which investigate the complicated pathways of love and contain a terrifyingly high irony quotient. LOVE-O-METER is Stephen's 15th solo album and received a kick-start when Cummings was granted Project Fellowship funding from the Australia Council. LOVE-O-METER charts the course of a romance. "It has a sort of story format to it," Stephen explains. "It's about the idea of romantic love and, you know, lost love and lost love found again and dealing with all the clichés and pitfalls of romance… Originally I wrote and recorded a series of monologues and conversations that linked the songs, but ultimately decided that listeners might find this distracting.” The album starts with "I Need You Tonight", an infectious pop song with a massed fuzz tone and vocals worthy of ELO. -
ANDREW PENDLEBURY Biography
ANDREW PENDLEBURY Biography Frequently cited as one of the finest guitarists in the nation, Andrew Pendlebury has always seemed destined towards a career in music. From age four he studied violin under the auspicious direction of Nathan Gutman, and at an early age played Vivaldi and Bach with the prowess of someone far beyond his tender years. Andrew is the son of two celebrated Australian artists, Laurence Scott Pendlebury and Nornie Gude . It is little wonder that Andrew also possesses a great talent with the brush, and that his sister Anne was encouraged in her career as an actress with stage and TV credits. After leaving school Andrew set about forging a career for himself in the art world. He held a number of successful exhibitions of his impressionist style works, but music still held his attention. Exposed to Django Reinhardt by a friend of his father who was a dance band guitarist in WW2, and excited by the new sounds evolving from players like Jimi Hendrix bursting onto the scene, Andrew began to focus his creative energy into the guitar. Despite his early classical training, Andrew is a self-taught guitarist and he set about creating a voice for himself through the instrument. He was enthused by players like Lenny Breau, Les Paul, James Burton, Jimmy Bryant and Chet Atkins, but like the painter is inspired by other artforms, Andrew also finds inspiration in the work of many styles of music and instruments. He has broad tastes ranging from a great appreciation of trumpet player Miles Davis to his pop sensibilities towards the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. -

INAUGURAL CEREMONY October 10 2018 “I know that there are vast numbers of men who support woman and huge numbers of women who want more so together let’s create the mother of all paradigm shifts.” Jenny Morris Chrissy Amphlett PHOTOGRAPHER: TONY MOTT 2 1 “I know that there are vast numbers of men who support woman and huge numbers of women who want more so together let’s create the mother of all paradigm shifts.” Jenny Morris Chrissy Amphlett PHOTOGRAPHER: TONY MOTT 2 1 A FEW WORDS Message From AWMA Founding Director Message from the Premier & Ministers & Executive Producer It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the first Australian Women in Music Awards. VICKI GORDON We’re proud that Queensland is the inaugural home to this phenomenal program. The Queensland Government is committed to promoting the work of women in all fields, including the arts, and positions of leadership. We have pledged to appoint 50 per cent women to government boards by 2020, because we know that companies This evening we will make Australian music history. that appoint more women do better. The inaugural Australian Women in Music Awards is the result of many Australian women contribute a great deal to the country’s contemporary music industry, and yet only one in five voices and many visions coming together, all of whom refuse to allow registered songwriters and composers in our nation are women. Women also represent almost half of all Australians women’s contribution in the Australian Music Industry to be sidelined with a music qualification, and yet hold only one in four senior roles in our key music industry organisations. -

Seeking an Australian Musical Identity a Personal Perspective by Mandy Stefanakis
FEATURE ARTICLE Seeking an Australian Musical Identity A Personal Perspective by Mandy Stefanakis That there is a great diversity of music composed in Australia Most countries have a definable musical sound in a number is obvious, however identifying a uniquely Australian sound of musical styles. For example George Gershwin, Aaron is much harder. Copland, Duke Ellington and Robert Johnson represent different styles, but all have composed music which is Traditional Aboriginal music defines very purely the lifestyle undeniably American. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra and environment of Aboriginal people. Traditional Aboriginal sounds like an American orchestra, even when it’s playing music has unique instruments. The didgeridoo is unlike any Wagner. And speaking of Wagner, and Bach and Schubert . other instrument on earth both in structure and function. It is . even the new German techno rock, though light years away a perfect vehicle for the expression of the hypnotic, cyclic, from the classics of German composers is still distinctively spacious, rhythmic, spiritual elements of traditional German. Elgar, Vaughan-Williams and The Beatles are Aboriginal culture and habitat. essentially English. The Cranberries and The Chieftains are passionately Irish, Vivaldi and Puccini elaborately Italian and Other Australians have quite diverse heritages and we could also wax lyrical about the unique characteristics of cultures. Many Australian musicians have tried to capture music in Asia, South America and Africa. The explanation for the essence of Australianness, often drawing on the the unique sounds of some of these countries, lies to a certain traditions of Aboriginal music for their inspiration. Some extent in the richness and length of their folk traditions. -
“Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago. -
