What a show our 2009 finale was! A live audience of 160 packed the James Squire at Docklands, Melbourne, for live music from Michael Paynter & Roma Waterman, amazing performances by poet Cameron Semmens, moving stories from John Graham about his Black Saturday bushfire recovery work, and a rare interview with one of Australian music's most successful figures -- Glenn Wheatley (pictured at top). From his days in The Masters Apprentices to managing artists like John Farnham and Delta Goodrem, Wheatley discussed his life, work, and the lessons learnt from his recent prison sentence.
