Hot on the heels of their addition to the One Movement Festival line-up, two Brisbane acts are recent recipients of the 4th annual Q Song Awards. As Queensland’s annual search for the state’s finest songwriters across 22 categories, the 2009 Q Song Awards attracted a record amount of entries: 2,130 songs poured in from across the state, thus cementing Q Song’s position as Australia’s largest annual state-based songwriting awards program.

Held at Brisbane’s Tivoli Theatre on Tuesday, 11 August 2009, the awards ceremony saw The John Steel Singers winning the Pop category with their track Rainbow Kraut [embedded below].

The Rock category was taken out by recent One Movement Word interviewees 26, for their song Bring On The Colour Guard. Listen to the song on their MySpace; a live video of their track A New Beginning - which was featured in the NBC TV show Life - is embedded below.

These two award recipients hint at the wealth of musical talent based in Queensland, as well as the impeccable taste of the One Movement Festival’s selection panel.

Congratulations to both The John Steel Singers and 26 from the One Movement For Music team. Make sure you catch both of their One Movement Festival sets on Saturday, 17 October 2009!
