Paul Kelly & The Drones WIn Multiple The Age Music Victoria Awards

The Age Music Victoria Awards for 2013 is done and dusted for another year, with those two acclaimed artists Paul Kelly and The Drones picking up multiple awards at this evening's event at Billboard.

Kelly picked up the Best Album (for Spring & Fall) and Best Male Artist awards, while The Drones were awarded the prize in the Best Band and Best Live Band categories.

Fellow long time contributor to the Melbourne scene Adalita picked up the award for Best Female Artist (as presented by theMusic), while young gun Vance Joy won the Best Song award for his monumental track Riptide and the even younger, no less hardworking Stonefield scored the award for Best Regional Act. Haitus Kaiyote became the latest act to score the award for Best Emerging Artist, beating out some very stiff competition.

The Music Victoria Hall Of Fame is a little busier from this evening onwards, with the legendary Michael Gudinski and Renée Geyer both inducted at this year's awards. Speaking of the induction into the Hall Of Fame, Geyer said it was a career-topping highlight.

Meredith Music Festival took out the Best Festival category, Theatre Royal, Castlemaine was voted as the Best Regional Venue, while Richmond's legendary Corner Hotel took out the award for Best Venue.
