Six awards and a baby girl!! Sounds like a title to a sitcom but that was my last Thursday. I am only just beginning to come to terms with the massiveness of all of this… and it feels good.
It is my pleasure to introduce Matilda Hazel Corbett to the world. My brand new baby girl is beautiful and I can’t wait until mum and bub are home from the hospital.
They are both doing extremely well and Kirrily, Marley and I are pretty stoked that we now have a little girl in the family. It will not be long before to tu-tu’s, fairy dresses and magic wands appear on the scene. Oh and requests for a pony.
The six awards came later that day at the 1233 ABC Music Awards. I was blown away to discover that I was awarded the following:
1. BEST BLUES & ROOTS SONG – Just Leave Me
2. BEST FOLK SONG – The Lambton Lights
3. BEST POP SONG – The Prettiest Face (tied with Sarah Humpreys “Waiting to Burn”)
4. HUNTER BROADCASTERS CHOICE AWARD – The Prettiest face
5. APRA & ABC MUSIC PUBLISHING SONGWRITER RECOGNITION AWARD
6. 1233 TOUR SUPPORT PRIZE
So many speeches! I’m proud to say that I put the audience to sleep and had to be removed from stage in my late night delirium. I went down in flames.
A BIG CONGRATS TO MY FRIEND JASON LOWE!!! Jason took out the big prize… ABC ARTIST OF THE YEAR. I am so happy for him. He is such a talent and it will only be a matter of time before the world understands what we all know to be true here at home.
And a final congrats to SARAH HUMPREYS who also took out 2 awards on the night. It is so great to see recognition where it is deserved and Sarah deserves every bit of it.
Onwards and upwards. Stay tuned for my new TV Sitcom “Six awards and a baby girl’ coming to a plasma screen near you.

What will it be? Hmm?
The last month has been a whirlwind to say the least. One thing I have discovered is that I’m just no good at writing blogs but bugger it… I’ll have a go.
I’ve finally stopped, if only for a short time to be at home for the birth of our second child who is due any day now. So magic times lie ahead for us here at the Corbett’s. Lots of drop ins and Coo Chee Coo’s. The stocks of non-gender specific items are building up… hmm what will it be???
I want to thank everybody who came along to the Newcastle, Central Coast, Sydney and Melbourne launches of my new album Storyboard. They were a great thrill and success. The memories I have will last forever.
I’ve shared the stage with many fine muso’s over this time and I’d like to list them for you. You must check these people out: Sue Carson, Mikey Stove, Dave Carter, Darren Brollo, Sarah Humphreys, Sam Buckingham, John Meyer, Fergusson, Jehan, Cotton Sidewalk, Kim Dewar, Morgan Evans, Vaudeville, Rosie Burgess and Rachel Brady.
The shows were received amazingly and I can’t wait to get back out there in a fortnight and do it all again, this time at Bar Me in Sydney on the 16th of November. The last one was probably my best show to date, so we will be pulling out all stops for the 16th. Also, we may just have a little bundle to celebrate about. … Hmm what will it be??? Boy or Girl??
I am also honoured to have received four top five nominations in the 2008 ABC Music Awards this Thursday. Two of my most loved and respected artists, Jason Lowe and Sarah Humphreys are sharing some of these nomination lists with me. I don’t see it as a competition; I see it as a win-win and an honour just to be on the same list as them. Jason will be playing on the night as well, can’t wait for that one. Good luck everyone!!
A lot of my southern tour has been booked in for December. I have six dates in Adelaide and Melbourne already booked and I hope to be able to get down to Tassie as well. Fingers crossed.
My northern expedition up the coast and into QLD will start early next year and it is my hope to get over to WA in the following months. Everybody says that I must get over there. Sounds intriguing.
Blog again soon. Until then...What will it be??? Hmmm.
