CBAA’s submission to the inquiry into Australia’s live music industry, that spotlights the vital role that community broadcasters play in nurturing emerging talent, helping artists build their audience and income, promoting events and festivals, developing local live music capacity and innovating to bring more live music to their communities.
Read more about the incredible work our sector does for live music 
here or on our submissions page.
- Have a close and co-operative relationship with local artists, live music venues, concert promoters and organisers.
- Manage programs, events and initiatives that are vital for artist development and career pathways.
- Support artist income with music licensing fees and event bookings and promotions.
- Host events and undertake activities that support skills development in music production, sound engineering, AV, promotions and event management that build local capacity in event and festival production
For the first time we have accompanied our written submission with a video submission. The video submission shares just a fraction of the incredible work community broadcasters do to connect their communities through live music. The video captures some of the brilliant examples of the mutually supportive relationship between live and local music and community radio:
