Music awards on song for local scene Photos by KEN SMITH THE fact that there were more than 30 nominations received for awards across six categories for the inaugural Dubbo Original Music Awards (DOMAs) is testament to the growing strength of the live and original music scene and the depth of talent that exists across our city and region. The winners of the inaugural DOMAs were announced at a celebratory event at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC) back in December, with the night featuring performances from local artists. Local group, SOMAD (Songwriters and Original Musicians Association Dubbo), has been working to promote recognition and activity in the local original music scene and the DOMAs are the latest step in the group’s mission to transform Dubbo into a music city.
