Wins, tins and grins: Everything you missed at the TMN Tinnies

The first annual TMN Tinnies were held on the rooftop of Kings Cross Hotel on Friday, to celebrate the behind-the-scenes rockstars of the music industry.

Hosted by TV personality Jo Casamento, the crowd were treated to a short and sharp awards ceremony that was filled with plenty of applause and cheers for comrades and rivals alike.

While not all of the winners were there to accept their awards, they were still well represented – especiallySarah Aarons, who put in a FaceTime call whileMaree Hamblion accepted the award forSongwriter of the Year.

“Congratulations to all of the nominees and winners at today’s TMN Tinnies. Thank you to everyone who threw their support behind the initiative and showed up this afternoon,” TMN publisher Jake Challenor said.
