In June the State Government announced a Taskforce on Live Music, VicMUSIC applauds this imitative. In July a request went out from the Government for submissions to this Taskforce. To quote from that release: "Musicians, venue operators and residents have been invited to have their say on Melbourne and Victoria's live music scene". If you are a musician, work in the music industry or just love to see live bands then this is your chance to have your voice heard. If you have an opinion or ideas on this issue then put in a submission to: Live Music Taskforce Secretariat, C/o Mr Ashley Admiraal, Department of Sustainability and Environment, Level 20, 80 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Or email: ashley.admiraal@dse.vic.gov.au : All submissions should be forwarded by end of the second week of August, 2003.

A submission does not need to be a formal or lengthy document, if you have an opinion on the importance of live music or ideas of what can be done to nurture it in this state then this is your chance to have your voice heard. A
submission can be anything, a few paragraphs to a full-on production number
.

We don't want to write the submission for you, it will only be of value if it expresses what you think about this issue, but we have been asked if we can provide some suggestions to help people get started, so here they are:

Short intensive courses giving you skills to help further your acting potential. As an actor, no matter what your level of training or experience, you need to keep your craft sharp and up-to-date.
