Judged in 11 Categories the ASA National Awards received over 2000 entries this year.

Geoff and Angie, both from Ballarat, Victoria both took up songwriting only in the last 3 years after performing covers and traditional music together and in other bands for some years. Geoff explained that it was the most important decision they had made as performers.
âTo have now created a repertoire of our own songs, based on our own experiences and having people listen and respond to them is so rewarding. Having my songs recognized through the ASA Awards has been an amazing experience and given me further confidence and inspiration to keep writingâ

Both Award-winning songs are on âSweet Sad Songsâ along with other songs written by both Angie and Geoff.
