Women In Music

Overview

Cringe-worthy talent shows really have ruined it for everyone. Not only do they give false hope to wannabes looking to break into the industry, but their successful contestants usually end up fading into obscurity anyway (not to mention their dated format has been wearing thin since Shannon Knoll whined What About Me?) I hate to get all parental on you but it takes hard work and dedication to make it big in the music business. But don’t listen to me, listen to Amandah Wilkinson of Operator Please, Adele Pickvance of The Go-Betweens, Susie Patten of I Heart Hiroshima and Katie Noonan, all of whom are ready to share their wisdom with you at Q Music’s Women in Music.

Originally created by a female focus group aiming to engage young women in the local music industry, Women in Music is a one-day forum designed to inspire, educate and engage women passionate about music. There to host the day’s panel discussions, workshops and interactive breakout sessions will be a slew of successful artists as well as women who have found success behind the scenes such as Angus and Julia Stone’s Manager Cathy Oast and triple j Magazine's Music Editor Samantha Clode.
