This is reflected in the amazingly high calibre of acts with million selling albums, and many Grammies, between them performing at One Movement Music for Festival, by Twilight which is turning One Movement into a huge, heavyweight international festival which will go from strength to strength.

Adding to these unique urban One Movement venue spaces is the nearby cafe Tiger Tiger. Live music stomping grounds, the Amplifier Bar and Capitol are also new welcome additions to the 2010 showcase program.

    One Movement For Music Lights Up Perth

    Hilltop Hoods headlining One Movement Perth 2009

    As you’re aware, One Movement For Music Perth made its triumphant debut a fortnight ago.

    Sorgente live on the Breakthrough StageOver 200 artists, 100 speakers, hundreds of delegates and many thousands of music fans descended on this inaugural music industry conferencing and showcasing event that lit up Perth for three fabulous days of new songs, business and friendships. We just wanted to send a thank you for making One Movement such a success in only its first year.

    The images you see here are just a taste of the entire weekend that stretched from the superb A&R welcome dinner at the Parmelia Hilton on Thursday night through to the insightful Dave Holmes workshop on Friday, the colourful Fringe Festival and Private Industry Showcases and of course the two conference streams and the One Movement Showcase Music Festival.

    We are already receiving much positive feedback from artists, delegates and speakers of various milestones achieved while they were in Perth – from signing new talent to forging new business partnerships and licensing new music created especially for and debuted at One Movement through the APRA Cross Cultural Collaboration!

    There were so many highlights over the weekend, throughout the lively panels and across the music showcases – far too many to be surmised here. Catch up on the post-event coverage here on One Movement Word.

    Keep an eye on the One Movement website over the weeks ahead Live on the Discovery Stageas we post audio from many of the conferences plus interviews with artists and speakers and loads of photographs from across the entire weekend.

    We truly hope you enjoyed your time in Perth, found it fruitful and we hope to see you back next year for the second instalment of One Movement For Music Perth – the essential music industry conference and showcasing event in the Southern Hemisphere.

    See you then!

    Michael Chugg, Sat Bisla and David Chitty.
