All the winners and grinners from the 2019 Queensland Music Awards

Women were at the fore on the winner’s podium at the Queensland Music Awards last night.

They were held for the seventh time, at the Royal International Convention Centre at Brisbane Showgrounds.

Hosted by The Grates’ Patience Hodgson and comedian Mel Buttle, the night featured live sets from Amy Shark &  DZ Deathrays, Resin Dogs, Clea, Bobby Alu, Emma Beau and 17-year old Tokyo Twilight.

Critically acclaimed storytellers Clea and Emily Wurramara won two accolades each.

Brisbane-based ethereal-voiced Clea’s anthem for the #metoo movement, ‘Dreaming’, took out song of the year as well as the pop category.

She will receive a plaque in Brisbane’s Valley Walk of Fame to honour the achievement as well as a $20,000 from Nova 106.5 and The Music.

Wurramara, originally from Groote Eylandt and sings in English and Anindilyakwa, had wins for the indigenous category for ‘Lady Blue’ and the blues & roots section for ‘Tap Sticks’.
