The South Australian music industry will gather at one of the city's most popular venues this November for the Fowler's Live Music Awards for 2012. Aiming to celebrate the diversity of live music produced in SA, the 21 Industry Awards recognise success and achievement over the past year, as judged by Fowler's Live owner and operator, Peter Darwin and a group of music industry professionals.
The 2012 Awards will be held on November 1 at Fowler's Live and is a free event to attend, limited by the capacity of the venue. The public is encouraged to attend a social BBQ, the ceremony itself and live performances by established SA artists. Check out the list of nominees below!
