August 19th, 2009 | By tyler

The 4^th annual Q Song Awards were held at Brisbane’s Tivoli theatre last Tuesday night to celebrate the next generation of Queensland songwriters.

Mucho-Bravado was most proud to be represented by three outstanding artists in Timothy Carroll, Tara Simmons and Hungry Kids of Hungary, who all went head to head in the Folk/Ballad, Alternative and Courier Mail People’s Choice award.

Timothy Carroll was the darling of the night, and the only overall multiple award winner taking out the coveted Song of the Year, and also Folk/Ballad category with the worldly charming ‘Danshyttan’. This follows glowing accolades across the music press for his debut album For Bread & Circuses, as well as mainstream press including The Australian, and Courier Mail.

Emma Dean Nominated For The Courier Mail People's Choice Awards

Vote Now for ‘Orange Red’ – www.couriermail.com.au/qsong

Fresh off the high that was a sell-out show for Emma Dean’s album launch of Real Life Computer Game, we are now proud to announce that one of the songs from the album – ‘Orange Red’ – has been announced as a finalist for the 2008 Courier Mail People’s Choice Awards. From midnight tonight until 11:59pm on Monday, July 7, you can head to the Courier Mail’s website and vote for the song.

The stunning ‘Orange Red’ is the centrepiece and one of the quieter moments on Emma’s otherwise theatrical debut. The song is another confessional piece and, as always, has a real story to tell:

“Originally this song was written about a boy I loved who was going through a tough transition in his life,” she reveals. “When I sing it now, it simply reminds me how powerful it is to stick by someone even when they are in their ugliest hour – to hold someone’s hand through the truly horrible times. When the sky is orange red and the fire is burning it takes courage and strength to face these flames together.”
