Summary

COI synopsis: Vicki Luke, herself an Australian actress working in London, meets many young Australian musicians and singers, here in London. It’s an important step in their careers to leave Australia but life can be a financial struggle. Such distinguished Australian artistes as guitarist John Williams, soprano Dame Joan Sutherland and that other Dame - Edna Everage are lending support to a newly formed organisation, the Australian Musical Foundation in London, with the aim of lending a helping hand to Australia’s new generation of musical talent. Vicki meets some of those involved.
