Youth in the Australian Music Scene
Produced by Rebecca Maakasa and Bridget Bourke

In this episode, we break down barriers preventing young people from participating in the live music scene. Kate Duncan from The Push gives insight into how underage gigs might be revived, and the passionate group of teenagers from New Slang talk about putting on successful music events in Melbourne. We also hear from media producer Josh Martin who grew up in regional Western Australia and compares his experiences of going to gigs in WA to the Melbourne music scene. Joe Toohey, the CEO of Creative Arts Victoria, describes how his lifelong love of the arts was stirred by going to an all-ages concert as a teenager. It is our hope that this episode prompts the music industry to continue to work towards being inclusive of young people so they can enjoy the live music experience.
