BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series
04/04/20 • 43 min
Musicians have seen their livelihood disappear right in front of their eyes literally overnight. With no way of knowing how long they will be unable to work, and no direct assistance being offered the uncertainty is all they have. Today’s interview is with Dawn Barrington. Dawn is a full time musician who lives in WA. We discuss the impact of the #Covid-19 crisis, what this has meant for herself, and others involved in the entertainment industry. Learn how Dawn is adjusting to the situation, and hear our discussion about what this could mean for the future of the music industry as we know it. The opening and closing track “We Live and We Die”, is a yet to be released original song that Dawn wrote with Manus Metal Man, who Dawn refers to as an incredible musician stuck in a hotel in Kangaroo point, Brisbane. Please support by visiting Dawn’s BandCamp and purchasing some of her music.

S1 E7 2020 International Women's Day, interview's with women involved in the Music Industry, discussing the on-going struggles they face.
BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series
03/08/20 • 70 min
March 8th 2020 is International Women's Day, this year's campaign theme is #EachforEqual; An equal world is an enabled world. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality. Collectively, each one of us can help create a gender equal world. We can actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations, and celebrate women's achievements.
This year's theme fits perfectly in to the ongoing struggles that women within the music industry face world wide. I extended a Public invitation to all women involved within any aspect of the music industry, offering flexible times to conduct the interview via phone to make it easier to fit in with everyone who could spare up to 30 mins out of their day, in hope of being able to get as many different views as possible. I researched as much as possible prior to writing the questions asked, as I wanted to make sure that the interview would offer something different to what has already been published in the past. Giving the participants the opportunity to be thoughtful, and honest with their responses, enabling them to provide their personal insight and experiences, to shed as much light as possible onto an issue which for generations has been pushed in to the dark. My eyes were opened to how little meaningful discussions are available publicly whilst researching, and there are so many more discussions that need to be had on this subject. With that being said, I hope that next time an opportunity to discuss issues that impact us all becomes available, that more women will trust that I will conduct the interview thoughtfully, and feel safe in sharing their stories with me.
I would like to thank everyone that agreed to be interviewed, I appreciate you all for supporting my podcast, and for making the time to chat with me,
I chose to open and close this special episode with "I Am Woman", which was written by Helen Reddy, and Ray Burton.
The questions asked:
Q: What does this year’s theme for International Woman’s Day “An equal world is an enabled world” mean to you in relation to your role?
Q: Do you think that the Australian music industry is inclusive of everyone?
Q: Why do think so many female music students do not go on to work within the Music Industry once they have completed their studies?
Q: Are the women who teach music failing to support, encourage, and mentor their female students? Could they be giving priority to their male students knowing that they have a better chance of being successful within the industry?
Q: Have you ever felt pressured to compromise your own comfort levels in order to look a certain way, or stopped being true to yourself in hope of getting ahead?
Q: Have you experienced indecent behaviour either physically, mentally or emotionally while working as a musician?
Q: Have you had an experience when you felt that you were not supported or sabotaged by other women in the industry?
Q: Has there been a time that you have not been given credit for work that you have done, or someone has taken the credit for your work?
Q: Have you witnessed positive changes in the industry in regards to women?
Q: Is there anything that you would still like to see change?

BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series
01/05/20 • 27 min
Batten down Beale, the Bones are ready to rattle your foundations, awaken the spirits buried deep beneath the earth, that once was laboured by those who would Holler the birth of the Blues! If the Bones make it to the Final during "The Blues Foundation's" "International Blues Challenge", which is held at the end of January in Memphis TN, rest assured you will hear them Hollering from the Beale Street roof tops, all the way back to Hindley Street in Adelaide, SA! In part 2 of my interview with Mr Holler himself Paul Macleod, we discuss the making of their self titled debut album, it's release, hitting Number 1 in the Australian Blues Music Charts, and their Amazing "third time lucky" appearance in the Adelaide Roots & Blues Association, 2019 Memphis Blues Challenge. If you don't know this mob of lovable Aussie "Dog and Beer Blues" Hollering lads, but enjoy a tale where the underdog gets to take home the Bone, then you will enjoy listening to the final part of my fascinating chat with Paul. The IBC is only 3 weeks away, and the Bones intend to share their stories of travel, places, people, and love of the Australian landscape, through their all original "Ozzie Blues". Every year the Adelaide Roots and Blues Association runs the MBC here in SA. Being affiliated with the Blues Society of The Blues Foundation gives ARBA the right to send a band and solo/duo musician(s) to represent its them at the IBC.

S1 E2 "Dust To Delta" An Interview with Paul Macleod “Holler & The Bones” Part 1 of 2
BAND IT ABOUT - Podcast Series
01/04/20 • 51 min
In this episode I chat with Paul about his multiracial family, and diverse multicultural, multinational upbringing. Made in Japan, born in the USA, and raised predominantly in Australia along with his adopted siblings, by parents who inspired a lifelong passion for knowledge, the arts, celebration of heritage, indigenous cultures, politics, and the Great Australian Outback. Paul has spent his first 50 years quenching his love of the red dusty earth on which we live, whilst gathering the players who together "Shout from the Earth" as one, collectively known as "Holler & The Bones". Paul's fascinating tale was too good to end up on the editing floor, which is why I decided to release 2 parts from this interview. Part 1 begins with Paul's childhood, and goes right through to the formation of the current line-up for his band. Make sure that you subscribe to the "Band It About" podcast so that you don't miss Part 2 of this fascinating tale, which will take you from the banks of the River Murray, to the Mississippi Delta! Please rate the episode if you enjoy it, and feel free to share with everyone. Band It About - Proudly Supporting Live Music
