Episode 2: Isol-Aid

As part of our commitment to capturing and sharing great Australian music stories, the Australian Music Vault responded to the challenges of COVID-19 by creating a series of video stories that capture, in real time, the impact that this pandemic has had on the music community.

This episode centres on the innovation and success of the online music festival Isol-Aid. Founded by Emily Ulman, this festival is an example of the pride, creativity and resilience of the music community during COVID-19. Viewers will hear from industry peers about what Isol-Aid has achieved for music makers and music fans across the country and the world, while also identifying the strength it takes to create, produce and sustain a project like this during lockdown.
