Lyn Eales
Budding south-west musicians and songwriters can now get some inside tips on how to make it in the industry from the new vice-president of the Australian Songwriters' Association. Warrnambool musician and South West Institute of TAFE music industry skills course coordinator Lyn Eales was recently elected vice-president of the association's national committee. Her new position will involve working for the Perth-based organisation, which is also run by former Warrnambool residents Brian and Jenny Ward. Ms. Eales, who has written a song called "So satisfying" which is on a national registry, said her position would bring opportunities for songwriters in the area, especially in terms of networking and seeking advice. "I'm absolutely thrilled with the potential it can bring to the area" she said. She said the organisation had more than 700 members, and as part of her new role, she would promote the organisation and give advice to budding songwriters. She said the association also offered a national songwriting competition that she would also promote in the south-west. Ms. Eales said her position would also have the bonus of entry into the ARIA awards and other major events such as the Tamworth country music festival. In the future, Ms. Eales said she would like to link existing projects in Warrnambool with members of the songwriting association. Also a member of Warrnambool band, Second Line, Ms. Eales said she was looking forward to adding her new role into her already busy schedule.
