Telstra Road to Tamworth Grand Final Winners

The Mushroom Group is proud to be associated with as supporting partner with Telstra’s Road To Tamworth and was well represented at the Grand Final Tuesday January 19.

It was a full house which not only looked great but had great ambience and an enthusiastic audience. Top that off with effective production values, great talent and a tough job for the 4 finalist judges – Bill Page (Head Judge/Director), James Blundell, Felicity Urquhart & Jonathan Moran (The Sunday Telegraph) - we had it all going on!

It has been a pleasure to have Mushroom Music’s James Blundell and Felicity Urquhart performing and judging at various heats alongside Bill Page. Their generosity of time and sincerity of spirit especially in mentoring workshops at the inaugural 2 day TRTT Bootcamp contributed largely to the success of Bootcamp which was a life time experience for contestants.

Congratulations to winners Tenielle Musulin (TRTT Performance Winner) and Luke Webb (TRTT Songwriter Winner)

RUNNERS UP IN THE VANDA & YOUNG SONGWRITING COMPETITION

We know there can only be one winner (Megan Washington), but due to the success and high standard of the entrants two runner-up prizes have been awarded, each worth $3,500.

Congratulations go to Eskimo Joe (Kav Temperley, Joel Quartermain and Stu Macleod) for “Foreign Land”, and Caitlin Harnett for her song “Tying Hands and Holding Shoelaces”.

"It’s such a great honour to be recognised for our song writing efforts and to be associated with the names Vanda and Young is a real buzz," said Kav Temperley from Eskimo Joe.

“Just to know that one of my songs has, in some way or another, connected with someone, is the loveliest feeling in the world and to be recognised in this songwriting competition is a dream. I feel like I have caught the moon! Music, to me, is a very healing and therapeutic thing, so the fact that all the money is going to a charity that reflects this is very special. I am so happy and grateful to be acknowledged. Thank you,” said Sydney based singer-songwriter Caitlin.

ARIA Best Adult Contemporary Album: Josh Pyke

Josh Pyke won his fourth ARIA at the ARIA awards in Sydney last night, taking out the award for 'Best Adult Contemporary Album' for his second full length album Chimney's Afire. Josh was able to beat off stiff competition from his peers Little Birdy, Paul Dempsey, Bob Evans & David Campbell. Josh will add this to his growing collection of ARIA awards, previously taking out 'Best Adult Contemporary Album', 'Best Producer' & 'Best Engineer' for his 2007 full length Memories & Dust.

Josh Pyke has had a bumper 18 months with the release of Chimney's Afire. The album largely themed on Josh's love for the water and deep family history with the ocean, debuted at #1 in Australian ARIA charts and went GOLD shortly after.

Congratulations Josh!
