ABOUT ICMA
In 2010 Our Director, was sitting on her patio a couple of weeks before attending the Tamworth CMF and suggested to her mates that there should be a small get together to celebrate our Indie Artists and acknowledge them for the music they create and the music that gives us so much pleasure.
As a consequence that idea grew in size and became Meet n Greet Country Awards and Showcase. With the first event being a small crowd of 30 people at the Tamworth Services Club. Only 5 awards were presented but, as the years progressed we decided that we needed to include as many of our Artists, Producers, Community Radio and Photographers as we could and the interest in participating grew with it each year, over the following 5 years.
After a few major hiccups in 2014 The Awards and Showcase took a 12 month break to restructure and re organise everything and hence the name change to ICMA ( Independent Country Music Australia)
The first one back was held in 2016, at the South Tamworth Bowls club every year until 2020 when the dreaded COVID outbreak stopped everything in it`s tracks including our beloved Musicians and the Music Industry in general.
We as a group of Fans created this organization together to acknowledge and promote our Independent Music Industry, and we are proud of all that we have achieved.
With the exception of our Award plaques, which are sponsored by small businesses and Individual fans who are just as passionate about our Industry as we are, ICMA is self-funded by our Director, and small donations from fans and Country Music lovers alike.
ICMA are proud of our Australian Music Industry, and we will continue to support our Artists
