Vale – David Croxton Australian pro audio industry leader David Croxton, Sales Director at KV2 Audio, died recently at the age of 59.
Owner and Chairman of Rode Microphones Peter Freedman said David was a key figure in the Australian audio industry for many years and a long-time friend of his. "We are very sad to hear of his passing. "I first met Dave in the '90s when Rode was in its early days and he was the importer and distributor of Mackie," Peter said. "I was immediately struck by his energy and enthusiasm, and in the years I knew him, I always had a huge amount of respect for his breadth of knowledge in both audio technology and in business. "Dave was an archetypal Aussie gentleman who I'm proud to have called a mate – I will miss him dearly." Brad signs worldwide deal with Sony Australian country star Brad Cox has signed a worldwide publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing. He will be collaborating with the company’s creative teams in both Nashville and Australia.
He rose to prominence in 2018 with his self-titled debut album which featured singles Red Light, Too Drunk To Drive, Lake House and Water On The Ground. Brad's debut album was nominated for two Golden Guitar, for Contemporary Album of the Year and New Talent of the Year, his Rusty Strings for Song of the Year and Single of the Year. He came to prominence initially as winner of the Toyota Star Maker Quest in 2018. “I first met Brad last year and immediately became fast friends with him,” said Sony/ATV Nashville Vice President, Creative Tom Luteran. “He’s not only a talented artist, but a really genuine, great guy.” Brad’s recent single Drinking Season, co-written with Dan Isbell, has already garnered more than a million global streams. Earlier this month, he released a new single, Short Lived Lovetogether with an accompanying video. Sony/ATV Australia Head of A&R/Creative Craig Hawker said, “We are absolutely delighted to be working in conjunction with our Nashville office on such an exciting new Australian country voice in Brad Cox, who is a superstar in the making.” “Songwriting is such a huge part of me and my career,” Brad said. “I’m super stoked to be working with Sony/ATV both in Australia and in Nashville. I love them all and this is going to be an awesome partnership.” Weblink – www.iambradcox.com. Mother Flower Collective gives voice to medicinal cannabis push A new country music collaboration is supporting change in accessing medicinal cannabis. The Mother Flower Collective – Kevin Bennett, Lyn Bowtell, Jeremy Edwards, Jeff Gibson, John Krsulja, Jen Mize, Shane Nicholson and Felicity Urquhart – have co-written and recorded a song – Mother Flower – to advocate for better education and access to medicinal marijuana.
The campaign to legalise medicinal cannabis in Australia began in Tamworth when Lucy Haslam and her son Dan began to lobby for change. Dan was a young cancer patient and after four gruelling years of conventional treatment and in absolute desperation he tried medicinal cannabis. That gave him back some quality of life, but buying cannabis from the illicit market was an uncomfortable experience for the family. Dan died at just 25, in February 2015, and exactly one year later the law was changed and introduced to the Parliament as Dan’s Law. Lucy continues to lobby for better access and education of health professionals. Tamworth's Dan Raffaele and filmmakers Peter Cross and Craig Wilson highlighted the many failures of the system with the documentary "High As Mike". Lucy thought an anthem could be a great way to highlight issues and evoke change, so at the suggestion of the late David Woodward, she approached John Krsulja from The Dag Sheep Station in nearby Nundle who runs the annual July Country Music Songwriters Retreat. “Mother Flower is more than just another country music song… it is the anthem for a movement based on love and the dignity that comes with relief of suffering. I hope Australia gets behind it to help us Fix Dan’s Law,” Lucy said. The song can be heard on various outlets including Capital Country Radio. Golden Guitars to go ahead as live industry event The 2021 Toyota Golden Guitar Awards will be announced and presented at a live industry function in Country Music Capital in January. Scheduled for the Awards usual venue – Tamworth Regional Entertainment & Conference Centre (TRECC) – numbers have had to be limited to comply with NSW health restrictions and social distancing measures. The announcement was made by the Country Music Association of Australia (CMAA) in conjunction with Tamworth Regional Council.
“It is the perfect way for Tamworth to demonstrate its support for Australia's country music artists in what has been an incredibly tumultuous year. “While audiences will not be able to witness the atmosphere at TRECC, they will be able to experience the sensational show via the on-line stream." CMAA Chairman Dan Biddle said: "Despite COVID abruptly curtailing all live music across the nation for some time, country music continues to be a guiding light for artists, musicians, songwriters and many others in the industry, including the fans, helping steer a course for a strong comeback in 2021." "We received 87 nominations for New Talent, which is reflective of country music's resurgence in recent years and it's new state of omnipresence, but the stand-out record was in Video of the Year. “There were an extraordinary 113 entries this year, eclipsing last year's record number by a massive 28 entries."

It's also nominated for Best Country Album at this year’s ARIA Awards. Casey is signed to Michael Chugg and Andrew Stone’s Chugg Music for management and records. “Chugg Music is very pleased to have Casey signed with Mushroom Publishing, and together with our combined international profiles and contacts, we believe we can help Casey make incredible music both with the songwriting and live performances moving forward,” Michael said.

Kempsey Council to take over Slim Dusty Centre Kempsey Shire Council will take over and reopen the Slim Dusty Centre for six months while preparing a detailed business case that may see ownership of the Centre permanently transferred to Council.
Councillors agreed on a vision at Tuesday’s ordinary meeting that could see the $10 million Centre potentially transferred to Council ownership to be operated as a civic and cultural centre while retaining the permanent Slim Dusty exhibition. In the short term, Council will work in partnership with the Slim Dusty Foundation and the Slim Dusty family to operate and manage the Centre on a reduced scale for a maximum of six months, subject to certain key conditions being met including a legal review. Kempsey Shire Mayor Liz Campbell expressed the desire to see the Centre survive the current challenges and thrive as a community and cultural institution.
“The Slim Dusty Centre represents an important modern landmark in the shire and a vital link to our heritage,” she said. “For more than a decade, the Kirkpatrick family and others worked relentlessly to secure funding and build the amazing facility we have today. The Kirkpatrick family have personally made enormous financial contributions to the establishment and operation of the centre. "For the family and the Foundation to take this step to secure the Centre’s future demonstrates their character and passion.” David Kirkpatrick, Slim’s son and Chair of the Slim Dusty Museum Trust Fund, said the decision marked a new chapter for the Centre that ensured accessibility to the exhibition for all Slim Dusty and Joy McKean fans. “This partnership truly recognises the Slim Dusty Centre as a unique and nationally significant community project in a regional area," he said. “A significant effort has gone into establishing the Centre, curating the exhibits and working with our charity and stakeholders to build the brand of the museum. "We will continue to focus on that area and bring new exhibits to life while trusting Council’s expertise to improve the operational management and marketing to allow the Centre to reach its full commercial potential,” David said. If permanently transferred, the Centre would represent a significant asset for the Council. The building and fit out of the Centre were funded through multi-million-dollar grants from state and federal governments, including a $6 million Federal grant under the Better Regions Program and a $1.5 million grant from the state government. Council contributed $102,500 to the project as well as an in-kind donation of a lighting system. It is forecast the Centre will reopen in some capacity before Christmas.

Stan book re-launched After almost 20 years since its original print run, country music legend Stan Coster’s autobiography Travelling My Own Track is back in circulation. With more than 168 pages of storytelling, the autobiography is "an honest account" of Stan’s life and legacy, both on and off the stage. Detailing his early years working as a butcher in Woolgoolga, joining a travelling rodeo as a rough rider in his 20s, through to meeting Slim Dusty and becoming a country music icon, Travelling My Own Track is described as "a fascinating read".
First printed in 2002, Travelling My Own Track was a sell-out with fans of the country music legend snapping up more than 3000 copies. Despite its initial popularity, the autobiography had not been reprinted until now. Daughter Tracy said it was thanks to family friend and colleague John Hallam from LJH Promotions, that the book was finally back in production. “John took my only copy and had it painstakingly copied page by page to get it back in to circulation," Tracy said. “The book is of exceptional quality and it is the perfect memento for keeping my Dad's legacy alive," she said. Stan Coster began writing songs and met Slim Dusty in 1960. Slim recorded his first Coster song, Return Of The Stockman, in 1962, with 70 more songs to follow. Drawing on his experiences working as a ringer, fencer, slaughterman, horse-breaker and kangaroo shooter, Stan was able to draw these experiences into his bush ballads, including the popular Three Rivers Hotel. In 1989, Stan was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for "Services to Country Music" before his induction to the Australian Country Music Roll of Renown at Tamworth in 1990.

The first ever Academy X will run over two days, Saturday and Sunday January 9 and 10 and, like its usually regular residential courses, will feature stars of Australian country music and leading industry figures delivering the curriculum.
It had been announced previously that the regular January course would not be held due to the coronavirus pandemic. Topics to be covered during Academy X will include festivals and touring, management, media strategies, performance, publishing, recording, songwriting and video production. There will be a focus on resilience, innovation and mental health in a post- COVID-19 world by the music industry benevolent association Support Act.

The Academy, initiated by the CMAA in 1997, normally runs two courses, one for juniors mid year and one for seniors in January. This will be the first time in its 24 year history an in-person event will not run in January in the two weeks preceding the annual country music festival which was cancelled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Since its inception, The Academy has been an important steppingstone in the careers of hundreds of artists, like Lyn Bowtell, Travis Collins, Ashleigh Dallas, Melanie Dyer, Adam Eckersley, Judah Kelly, Amber Lawrence, Brooke and Samantha McClymont, Kylie Sackley, Caitlyn Shadbolt, Sara Storer and many more. “Academy X is set to continue that tradition and give a fresh group of emerging artists and songwriters the chance to connect with some of the best in the business and forge long-lasting connections with their peers,” said a spokesman for The Academy.

JW releases new book John Williamson has released a new childrens book based on his hit song Old Man Emu. Illustrated by Simon McClain, the book is John’s third after "Christmas In Australia" and "My Dad Snores" and comes in the year he celebrates his 50 year career milestone.
“Simon McClain is an amazing artist. His animal drawings are beautiful. My favourite page is the tawny frogmouth, and you’ve got to turn it upside down to see the fruit bats sing.” Away from the children’s books, John has had to suspend his Winding Back tour due to COVID-19 but once he is back on the road, the dates will run into 2022. After this tour is over, John will only be performing at larger festivals and shows as opposed to touring extensively. “I’m a bit tired of travelling, but once I’m on stage I’m home again, so I am missing that,” he said. “I feel bad for the crew who aren’t getting work now. “I was starting to think about slowing down anyway, so I’m having a practice of that this year. “But I’ll be going back because I have quite a few sold-out shows and nobody wants their money back – but I have to wait until they can fill the theatres again.” John has also released a new single titled The Great Divide… in his words, summing up “Australia today” singing of his sadness at seeing Australia divided by lines on a map and situations like families not being able to see each other. The new work follows the release earlier this year of his box album set JW 50 – Winding Back 1970 to 2020. Weblink – johnwilliamson.com.au.
New sponsor for album countdown Capital Country Radio’s weekly countdown of the top selling Australian country albums has a new sponsor, Australian family-owned food manufacturer Three Threes Condiments.
It’s a very appropriate link between Three Threes and the special program which highlights music by Australian and New Zealand artists. Last year, Three Threes celebrated its 100th birthday. Stanley Roy McAlpine and his wife Winfred Grace founded Three Threes in 1919, 10 years before Art Leonard (Len Maurice) first recorded country music in Australia. The couple produced a selection of pickles, chutneys, jams, and sauces from their Sydney home, distributing their ‘333’ branded products by horse and cart. Three Threes is today managed by a fourth-generation family member, Michael McAlpine, while his son, Tim, has also joined the business in recent years to extend into a fifth generation, while its products have become staples of many Australian families. Its range include Sweet Mustard Pickles, Relishes, Australian Baby Beetroot, Pickled Onions, Gherkins, Olives, Premium Australian Sauces, Apple Sauce, Mint Jelly and the increasingly popular MightyMite – a smooth tasting, Aussie-owned yeast spread launched in 2001.
“To come from Stanley and Winfred McAlpine’s home made products and horse and cart delivery to where we are today 100 years later with a wonderful range of Australian products available nationally is an achievement our family is extremely proud of,” Michael McAlpine said. Three Threes has grown significantly over the past century, moving from Stanley and Winfred’s home to increasingly larger premises throughout the years to its current head office and processing plant in Lidcombe. The company prides itself on supporting Australian farmers and businesses by sourcing the finest locally produced ingredients, raw materials, and locally grown vegetables wherever possible. Products are also manufactured using Australian-built machinery and presented in locally sourced packaging, including glass, cartons, and labels. The Australian Country Albums Top 20 Countdown is heard on Capital Country Radio at 7pm each Tuesday night with program repeats at 9am Thursdays and 12noon Saturdays.

Melinda Schneider has taken on the role of Ambassador for the Rural Adversity Mental Health Program (RAMHP). “RAMHP do the most inspiring work supporting country people on their mental health journeys,” she said. “I hope to help reduce the stigma around mental ill-health and encourage people to seek help in rural communities.” The Program is an initiative of the University of Newcastle Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health in partnership with local health districts in NSW. It was established in 2007 as the Drought Mental Health Assistance Package and expanded in 2010 to more broadly address the mental health impacts of rural adversity. As part of her involvement with RAMHP, Melinda will release, this Wednesday, a new song and EP titled Be Gentle On Yourself. She will also tell her own story of struggle with depression. Profits from the sales of the EP will assist in raising funds for resources for RAMHP. Weblinks • www.begentleonyourself.com.au • www.ramhp.com.au. Venues in "dire situation" In the second story covering the state of the music industry during the coronavirus pandemic, we look specifically at venues and the knock-on effect to events and artists. This story also from The New Daily and highlighting the lack of federal government assistance in particular provided to the industry... Australia’s live music industry is in crisis talks with government and pleading for urgent assistance, with a time bomb of looming debts and deadlines predicted to see countless venues simply close down in coming months. “We are almost out of time for a solution for these businesses,” said Australian Live Music Business Council Chairman Stephen Wade. Two stunning surveys of the sector found 85 percent of venues in NSW, and 70 percent nationwide, reported facing imminent shutdown and closure without immediate funding help. The NSW survey said 47 of the state’s most popular venues had missed out on $70 million in lost revenue since March. “We’re in a pretty dire situation,” admitted Sam Nardo who runs Sydney’s iconic Enmore and Metro theatres. “Many venues will shut their doors for good. They will not be able to come back.” The live music industry, with tightly-packed crowds, dancefloors and alcohol service, was among the first to close due to COVID lockdowns and restrictions and is predicted to be among the last to open up fully.
Despite rules easing, many venues remain closed. Even smaller ones, which are slowly opening with seated crowds, are running at a loss. Sam Nardo is Chief Operating Officer of Century Venues, running some of Sydney’s most beloved concert halls. He said the largest theatres in his portfolio remain closed, and even those opening are only taking around 15 percent of normal patrons. Combined with extra COVID-related cleaning, staff and security costs, and looming cuts to JobKeeper and rental assistance, he fears many venues will not be able to afford to reopen. “It’s now more than double the cost to open,” he said. “If not for JobKeeper, it wouldn’t be viable.” One of his venues, the Factory Theatre, is being kept at only 15 percent of its normal 800-patron capacity. Staff are rostered on for cleaning, crowd control and marshalling duties. “We’re running at a loss in these shows, but it’s important we do it,” he said. “Spaces need revenue.” A MusicNSW survey of 50 Sydney venues has revealed 85 percent expected to close for good in coming months without an urgent injection of government funding. A separate nationwide survey from the Australian Live Music Business Council found 70 percent of venues feared closure within six months, with 30 percent saying they’d shut by Christmas.
A NSW campaign called Save Our Stages has launched, calling on the state government to pour stimulus money into the sector. The campaign complains the NSW government has not stumped up music-specific funding like the Victorian and Queensland governments. “Live music in NSW is under threat [and] on the verge of collapse,” Save Our Venues said. “We call on the NSW Government to work with MusicNSW and industry representatives to devise a stimulus package that will ensure the ongoing survival of our venues.” More than 20,000 people signed the campaign’s petition on the state parliament’s website in just its first 48 hours. Under petition rules, the issue must now be debated by the NSW parliament. Federal Arts Minister Paul Fletcher said creative industries “are doing it tough at the moment” and pointed to Commonwealth support such as the $75 million RISE fund and $35 million in sustainability funding. He also said $336 million in JobKeeper payments had gone to creative and performing arts industries, with decisions on funding applications to be made in coming weeks. “[The programs] are the outcome of widespread consultation with the industry – conversations that will continue as we enter the recovery phase from COVID-19,” he promised. But the ALMBC survey found just 17 percent of venues expected to get any benefit from RISE, and only four percent planned to take out a government-backed loan under the ShowStarter program.
“Live music is an integral part of Australian culture. But unless the government does more we could lose so much of it,” said Labor arts spokesperson Tony Burke. “It’s been three months since Scott Morrison announced his arts and entertainment support package – but not a dollar has actually been delivered to the people who need support.” Kerri Glasscock, of performance space Venue 505, said the sector could use access to cash grants, subsidies for opening venues with decreased capacity, and investment for programming. Her venue is struggling, and she is considering her options. “Under our reduced capacity, we need to sell all our tickets each night, and every person needs to buy two drinks, just for us to break even,” she said. “And that’s while we have a rent reduction from our landlord and getting JobKeeper. We’re only just breaking even, paying radically reduced rent, and having staff costs covered. As soon as we lose one of those buffers, it won’t be viable for us to open at all.” Sam Nardo said pending changes to JobKeeper, and ends to rent moratoriums, were “a real factor” that would further punish venues. He suggested the state government provide assistance with rents and stimulus, as well as regulatory amendments – like noise restrictions – which could help cut red tape to get businesses moving faster. “It’s inevitable businesses like ours will have to close,” he said. Nambung Muster goes ahead The Nambung Country Muster in Western Australia is going ahead this month.
The four-day Muster – Thursday October 22 to Sunday October 25 – will also include a Slim Dusty Tribute Show. Nambung Country Muster is staged at Nambung Station a little over two hours north of Perth off Highway One. Admission price to the event includes camping. Photo: an aerial pic of last year's Muster.

On a freezing July night in 2019, the group of some of Australian country music’s finest sat around a big country fireplace in Nundle, watched the documentary "High As Mike” for inspiration, and wrote the song.
An “intimate cabaret design” will be the setting with a combination of live performances from finalists and the winners announced on-stage, pre-recorded moments and crosses to those who may not be able to make it on the night.
The Gold Coast artist’s mist recent album – Town Of A Million Dreams – has been featuring in the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Australian Country Albums Chart for a number of weeks after debuting at number two.
The Centre closed abruptly in March due to COVID-19, following a period of reduced visitation resulting from the impact of drought and bushfires.
The autobiography was originally written in three sections. The first, diary notes handwritten by Stan himself and compiled by his children; the second comprised of fan club newsletters, and the final chapter, written posthumously by Stan’s daughter Tracy.
