Midnight Oil urged us to ‘Change The Date’. Missy Higgins took over an empty Melbourne CBD. Archie Roach showcased his love. Last week’s episode of The Sound – featuring a special NAIDOC Week celebration – was a stunner:
‘The high point was the final performance – a tribute to the great Warumpi Band’s ‘My Island Home’. Christine Anu, who made the song a chart hit with her cover back in 1995, was joined by Ngaiire, Electric Fields’ Zaachariaha Fielding, and Emma Donovan from their respective homes for a gorgeous rendition’ – Junkee
Prepare yourselves: we’re back for more! Tune in Sunday 15 November at 6pm on ABC and iview to catch:

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
