Following successful events in regional New South Wales, APRA AMCOS brings its free two-day skills development workshop, Starting Ground, for up-and-coming Aboriginal Songwriters to Redfern on 23 & 24 Jun.
Starting Ground is an opportunity for musicians in the Sydney region to develop their careers under the guidance of award-winning artists and music industry professionals. This event's mentors include Leah Flanagan, Brendon Boney, Neal Sutherland and Rob Scott.
