18.01.2022 NEWS ALERT! After very careful consideration and ongoing observation of COVID-19 restrictions, we've elected to move our annual WAMFest, WAMCon and WAMAwards celebrations from November 2020 to early 2021. With the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 restrictions and their impact on live music events, a cautious approach helps ensure we deliver the best events, with the best outcomes for as many West Australians as possible. We'll continue working hard over the coming months on our ongoing Audience Development and Regional Recording Programs, and can't wait to share all the exciting WAMFest, WAMCon and WAMAwards details with you next year. Stay safe, support the community and keep making music!

14.01.2022 Pilerats x WAMFest #LiveSessions: Noah Dillon - Matthew McConaughey It's hard to find a Perth songwriter quite like Noah Dillon. He's become a go-to for blistering folk-rock on the west coast; his storytelling and guitar-ridden melodies drawing you in and not letting you go. Here, at Fremantle's Mrs Brown Bar, he plays a yet-to-be-released song titled Matthew McConaughey, alongside his new live band. This one's for you, Matty. Catch Noah Dillon, plus plenty of others at this ...year's WAMFest, kicking off tomorrow! bit.ly/pilerats-wamfest. Produced by Made In The Pile.
