Considered an opportunity for music-lovers and musicians alike to see excellent bands ― funk-soul ensemble Melbourne Ska Orchestra, mystic culture blenders The Cambodian Space Project, Irish hero Damien Dempsey, Ethiopian jazz connoisseurs Dereb The Ambassdor and groovy Sola Rosa ― AWME also provides a chance for punters and industry representatives to make connections at the AWME Festival Club and its Conference Program.
AWME Director, Simon Raynor, said that “AWME [has] facilitated management details, touring opportunities and festival spots all over the world for showcasing artists and [they] aim to follow that success with more of the same this year”.
