LIVE music around Australia will get a boost from the federal government with the creation of a new office dedicated to its promotion.


Labor has promised to spend $560,000 over the next three years on the National Live Music Office, which will run within the Australasian Performing Rights Association.

Recently appointed national live music coordinator Ianto Ware will manage it.

Federal Arts Minister Tony Burke said the office would look at key policy, regulatory and process reforms that would support a robust live music scene.

Live music ambassadors including Katie Noonan, Suffa from the Hilltop Hoods, Stavros Yiannoukas from Bluejuice, Kav Temperley, Kevin Mitchell from Jebediah, Dave Faulkner from the Hoodoo Gurus, Leah Flanagan and Dewayne Everettsmith will support the new national office.
