Q Music is thrilled to announce the finalists for Q Song 2009. Judges have faced an enormously difficult task with almost 2200 songs entered in Q Song 2009, almost 800 entries more than in 2008.
Each song was judged anonymously (track title only) by a team of dedicated music industry representatives from The Courier-Mail, triple j, ABC, 989 fm, Musicadium, JMC Academy, dew-process, 4zzzfm, Time Off, Australian Institute of Country Music, QUT and APRA.
“Judges were once again overwhelmed by the enormous talent of Queensland songwriters and the high quality of entries” Executive officer Denise Foley said.
The winners will be announced at the 4th annual Q Song Awards night to be held at The Tivoli, August 11, 2009. Tickets for the event go on sale today and are available from
www.qsong.com.au.
A limited amount of tickets are available to the public for the event.
Tickets are $20 for Q Music members, students and concession card holders and $30 for non-members. Ticket price includes finger food.
Doors Open at 6pm for a 7pm start and the event concludes at 10pm.
All winners of all categories will be announced on the night. The evening will be hosted by 612 ABC Brisbane’s Richard Fidler and Sarah Howells from triple j.
Q Music is thrilled to announce guest performances from Award winning artist Mark Sholtez, alt country crooners Texas Tea, Indigenous roots masters Zennith, purveyors of indie pop The Boat People, those starving boys from Hungary Kids of Hungary, 2008 Primary School winner Jazz D’Arcy and last year’s multi award winning James Grehan.
