LISTEN: Artists & Industry Figures Talk Mental Health & Music At Sydney Panel

Staff Writer

Listen to the full panel now.

Some of Australia's most notable artists and industry figures have taken part in a special panel discussing mental health and music. 

Hosted by mental health charity The Banksia Project, the panel consisted of Shannon Noll, Timomatic, former radio personality Mel Greig, Paul Kelly's manager Bill Cullen, former Thirsty Merc manager Francis Coady and Sneaky Sound System founding member Nick Broadhurst. 

An alarming statistic shows people working in the music industry are ten times more likely to experience mental health issues then in any other industry. In a The Green Room with Neil Griffiths podcast special, we take you inside the event recorded at Sydney's Ovolo Hotel last week where the panel shared their own experiences and stories. '

Listen to the full panel on Spotify, Apple Podcasts (below) or SoundCloud.

If you are suffering from any of the issues that have been discussed or need assistance, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.
