Year Five (2021 COVID)
Melbourne @ Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Produced by Penny Drop/Emily York and was days after Michael Gudinski (AM)’s passing. Mushroom have always been a huge supporter of our event, so we invited the women of Mushroom to come and be together, and Susan Heymann flew down to speak with Linda Bosidis about Michael, and his support of the women of Mushroom. Keynote by Gordi (photos here) who was a medical doctor throughout COVID, working with COVID patients and also released her second album.
