National Live Music Coordinator Announced
"The 2012 Federal Budget provided additional funding to the SOUNDS AUSTRALIA music export program which will help contemporary Australian musicians and songwriters develop from local to global stages," the Minister said. Through previous roles in the not-for-profit sector, Dr Ware has extensive experience supporting artists, venues, industry associations such as CEO of Renew Adelaide and founding director of Format Adelaide, as well as state and local governments. "Live music has been a hugely positive influence in my life. I'm absolutely thrilled to take on a job that will allow me to give back to the Australian local music scene," Dr Ware said. APRA|AMCOS Chief Executive, Brett Cottle, said the appointment is a welcome boost for the Australian music industry. "The local live music industry is where our songwriters and performers hone their craft," said Mr Cottle. "It's no secret that the international appeal of artists like Gotye started at home – performing to local audiences in small venues. The National Live Music Coordinator role is significant - it will help ensure our live music scene continues to thrive and contribute significantly to our potential export success," he said. In 2011, an Ernst and Young study commissioned by APRA|AMCOS and funded by the Australia Council and other industry partners found that venue-based live music contributed $1.2 billion to the economy, serviced almost 42 million patrons and created nearly 15,000 full time jobs Australia-wide. Australia Council Acting CEO Libby Christie said, "Research such as our More than bums on seatsand Artfacts: Music have shown us repeatedly that music plays a vital role in Australian culture, with almost every Australian making it a part of their life." "The National Live Music Coordinator position will further capitalise on the significant economic and cultural gains that can be made from investing in the live music economy for artists and venues alike," said Ms Christie. "We're delighted to see this industry partnership expand." SOUNDS AUSTRALIA is Australia's music market development initiative, established to provide a cohesive and strategic platform to assist the Australian music industry access domestic and international business opportunities.
