8 – 9 OCTOBER –A– –B– “The most important journey is the one of the spirit, for your internal peace relies on it.” Olivia Newton-John AC, OBE Acknowledgement of Country Australian Women in Music Awards acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we meet, celebrate, dance and sing. We pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. MESSAGES Premier of Queensland & Minister Welcome to the 2019 Australian Women in Music Awards. The Queensland Government is proud to support this showcase event for a second year. It is a fabulous way to pay tribute to the many talented women who are creating music or working behind the scenes to support Australia’s Annastacia Palaszczuk MP flourishing music industry. PREMIER OF QUEENSLAND MINISTER FOR TRADE We are delighted the Awards have returned to Queensland, home to some of this country’s finest female musicians. We recognise however, that while they have found success and been embraced by audiences the world over, there are many other gifted women just like them, right across Australia, who are struggling to break through because of gender barriers. Female artists tend to earn less than male performers, receive less airplay on Australian radio and hold little more than one-quarter of senior and strategic roles in key music industry associations. Shining a dedicated spotlight on these issues and recognising the exceptional work of female artists and industry professionals, is a vital step in creating greater visibility and opportunities for all Australian women in music. This is what these Awards are about. We congratulate this year’s winners, cheer on all those who are following MINISTERDi FOR Farmer CHILD SAFETY,MP YOUTH in their rhythmic footsteps, and wish everyone a memorable time AND WOMEN AND MINISTER FOR celebrating outstanding female talent. -
Katie Noonan Jazzes up Lennon/Mccartney Hits at WAAPA
21/07/09 Vocal star Katie Noonan jazzes up Lennon/McCartney hits at WAAPA She has been described as having ‘one of Australia’s most beautiful voices’ and has been praised for her ‘extraordinary versatility’. Katie Noonan, best known as the angelic voice of the band George, brings her unique vocal talent to the main stage of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in early September for three performances only of the timeless love songs of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. As part of WAAPA’s Jazz in the Theatre series, Katie Noonan will perform The Music of Lennon and McCartney on Wednesday 9, Thursday 10 and Friday 11 September at 7.30pm in the Geoff Gibbs Theatre. She will be supported on stage by WAAPA’s Jazz and Contemporary Music students. The songs performed will be taken from Noonan’s most recent CD release, Blackbird. Recorded in New York in August 2008, this collection of classic Lennon and McCartney-penned songs has been magnificently re-interpreted by Noonan and her all-star jazz quintet: Grammy award winning saxophonist Joe Lovano, renowned guitarist John Scofield, exceptional drummer Lewis Nash, Grammy award winning legendary double-bass player Ron Carter, and Melbourne-based keyboard player Sam Keevers. Much-loved Beatles songs such as “Here, There and Everywhere”, “Across the Universe”, “Eleanor Rigby” and “Michelle” are brought to life through Noonan’s enchanting voice and musicianship. “I don’t think there’s a single musician on the planet who hasn’t been influenced by the Beatles in some way,” Katie commented when Blackbird was released. -

Katie Noonan, 2019 Extended
Katie Noonan, 2019 Extended bio: Over the past 20 years, five-time ARIA award-winning artist Katie Noonan has proven herself one of Australia’s most hardworking, versatile and prolific artists. Named one of the greatest Australian singers of all time by the Herald Sun, Katie has produced 20 albums throughout her career, with seven times platinum record sales under her belt and 25 ARIA award nominations that span diverse genres. Katie first came into the nation’s view in 2002 while fronting indie rock band george – their debut album, the two-times platinum Polyserena, rolled in at number one in the ARIA charts. They ultimately won the ARIA award for Breakthrough Artist that same year. Since then, Katie has performed by invitation for members of the Danish and British Royal families, and His Holiness the 13th Dalai Lama. She was an inaugural recipient of the prestigious Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship in 2011, an honour awarded to candidates that display outstanding talent and exceptional courage. In 2018, Katie took on the Commonwealth Games Opening and Closing ceremonies as Music Director, performing to more than a billion viewers worldwide. Katie is a rare songwriter; equally at home leading a symphony orchestra as she is performing in a small jazz club, she has the ability to flourish in any genre – whether that’s in gentle folk storytelling or in the grandiosity of an operatic performance. Katie has also collaborated with Australian electronic producers Flight Facilities on their acclaimed 2014 record Down To Earth, and in 2016 she joined Perth hip-hop artist Drapht on his track Raindrops. -
