Go-Betweens drummer Belinda "Lindy" Morrison will receive the Ted Albert Award For Outstanding Services To Australian Music at the upcoming APRA Music Awards in June.
The 2014 APRA Music Awards take place on June 23 at Brisbane City Hall. To celebrate the award, Morrison will perform Go-Betweens songs alongside some of her former band members and some special guests - including drummer/vocalist Joanna Syme and Tom Iansek, best known as Big Scary.
Lindy was the drummer in indie rock group The Go-Betweens from 1980 to 1989, appearing on all the band's releases from their first LP in 1981 until the band's first break up on 26 December 1989.
Lindy has also performed in Silent Figures, Shrew, Xero (also known as Zero and Xiro), The Four Gods, Deep Blue Sea, Cleopatra Wong (with Amanda Brown ex-The Go-Betweens), and Tuff Monks.
She played drums in The Rainy Season from 2007 until 2011.
For many years Lindy has worked as a community musician and been an advocate for copyright law reform, fighting to get a better deal for musicians.
She has sat on the board of the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) for 20 years and is the national welfare co-ordinator of Support Act Limited, the music industry's own charity.
