It’s unfortunate to hear that the Brisbane City Council has decided to pull funding for the Queensland Music Awards, especially due to the controversy surrounding the jazz award winner. The support from local government is crucial for the arts, and it’s disappointing when funding is affected by specific circumstances. Hopefully, discussions can take place to address the concerns and find a way to support all genres of music, including jazz, which has a rich cultural history and deserves recognition. The arts community is vital for fostering creativity and bringing people together, and it’s essential to ensure that all musicians receive the support they need to thrive.
