There’s no way to overstate the importance of Paul Kelly on contemporary Australia. He is our national poet, the man whose music has soundtracked so many important moments in our lives, a man who continues to push himself to create new and exciting art that just always seems to connect.
In this special keynote, Kelly will speak about how his approach to songwriting has changed over the past four decades, how collaboration and cooperation with artists from diverse musical and cultural backgrounds has inspired his lengthy career in Australian music, and why it took him 36 years to finally snag a number one record.
