Overheard Productions

Overheard Productions is the operating face of Bill ‘Quinny’ Quinn aka Bill The Gypsy aka 36 other nicknames.

Our missions are many, all powered by passionate beliefs that independent musicians, singers, songwriters, artists, and anyone in the creative arts should have wider audiences.

Bill is a proud Ken Behren and was born on Ngunnawal land. After a pretty beige 38yrs, Bill went to the 2005 National Folk Festival, and immediately asked why he’d been wasting his life until then.

Overheard Productions was then a registered business for corporate/wedding MC-ing, and trivia quizzes, but our focus moved to radio, magazine writing (Trad Now folk mag), festival/gig media, and lots of interviews.

We now prioritise advocacy work for independent artists, venues, and festivals. Overheard Productions left ACT in March 2013 and operates globally from wherever in Terra Australis you find Bill The Gypsy, his contractors, and his 54+ yr old teddy bear.

A new Mparntwe-based business will collect the entertainment and advocacy stuff with a go-live of 1 July 2022. Bill is a connector, communicator, and collaborator. We help, support, add value, and synergise NOT compete, subsume, grift, try to be what we’re not, or cut anyone’s grass.

(Though if you need your lawn mown, Bill’s got very diverse and mad skillz.)

Barkly Regional Arts

Barkly Regional Arts (BRA) is the regional hub for the arts in the Barkly region. Its remit to deliver
arts programs and initiatives in the region is as large as the region itself.

BRA has evolved from a project-driven to a program-driven arts organisation. Critical to these programs are that
BRA provides an interface between mainstream and Indigenous cultures that reaffirm core BRA values including
a celebration of and respect for cultural diversity and recognition of a unique Indigenous demographic.

The organisation currently provides 50 annual programs or projects to over 800 artists throughout the Barkly region including 120 Indigenous visual artists, 300 Indigenous musicians including 24 bands, 7 gospel choirs, 30 traditional Indigenous singers, 50 traditional Indigenous dancers, 20 writers, 250 young people and 80 children.

The Barkly regional demographic also reveals high levels of unemployment, social disadvantage and cultural erosion. BRA adopts the regional role of developing resilient community development and cultural maintenance arts programs. It implements that role using arts as a platform for opportunity, engagement, and support and benefits across a range of economies: social, cultural maintenance, community well being, career pathways, financial, health and the celebration of regional arts. With increasingly secure funding and support BRA has developed strategies to create community benefits that are long-term and sustainable.
