Indent, a project of Music NSW, has been providing all-ages events and opportunities for young musicians for 10 years. Indent dates back to the 1996 Drug Summit where one of the many outcomes was the development of a Youth Entertainment Pilot (YEP) project to promote developments in government policy relating to the staging of under 18’s and all ages events and drug and alcohol free entertainment.

This excellent program is now 10 years old so in celebration of ten years of live all-ages drug and alcohol free events MusicNSW has just announced the Indent Ten Year Tour, supported by NRMA Motoring & Services. The Indent Ten Year Tour kicks off in Newcastle on September 24, before winding its way across NSW delivering the best in live music to Cessnock, Sydney, Tamworth, Byron Bay, Tuncurry, Bathurst, Wagga, Bega and Batemans Bay.

AYMC is very excited to be part of this year’s APRA / AMCOS Song Summit on June 20.  It’s a huge festival with workshops, speakers, performances, a music market and plenty of information and inspiration for budding songwriters and composers.

Eastside Fm in Sydney have an interesting initiative to get more young people in the driver’s seat as presenters and producers of jazz radio programs. It is led by a group of volunteer broadcasters from the station that have seen a need for more young people to engage with the music and the medium of radio.  They are looking for high school students and young adults with an interest in this music to become involved.

This is specific to the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, but it might inform people wanting to do similar things (for any genre of music) around the country, particular in community radio.
