This article has to address history and diverse styles of music - otherwise the title needs to be changed :) SatuSuro 11:11, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Define it

I don't this is intended as a genre as indicated above. Is it;

• Music from Perth
• Music in Perth

Should it contain:

• Minor and Major Artists
• Venues
• Retailers and Radio stations
• Other festivals e.g. In the Pines

I'm starting to think a comprehensive WA article is needed. e.g. Bridgetown Blues Fred.e 19:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Im going to try to clean this article up as a kind of combination of both from and in. Metao 03:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks its always good to get advanced warning ...SatuSuro 03:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Further Expansion ideas

Education needs a mention, maybe someone who knows something about, WAAPA, Perth Modern, The Perth Conservatory, and Johhny Yound Talent School et el can contribute a Education sub heading. petedavo

Jazz seems to be having a big following in Perth, but I know bugger all about the scene.petedavo

History of musical entertainment in Perth would have a huge amount to put in it. There's just so much that I can think of here. It would be a shame to lose it, because quite frankly many of the younger generation are not aware of it.petedavo 10:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Indeed that is true :) SatuSuro 10:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

But - the important thing is material that can be used needs to have WP:V and WP:N criteria met - in other words good sources and materials about the olkd things - not just our memories :) SatuSuro 11:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Music Festivals

Excepting for some at Brigadoon etc most of the music festivals seem to be in the country. (South West esp: Fairbridge, Bridgetown et el) but these maybe warrant some mention.petedavo 15:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
