Kylie Adams-Collier (born Kylie Una Adams) began writing songs on her mother’s piano at the age of five. Growing up in Bellingen (northern NSW, Australia), Kylie was fortunate enough to live in a household of music. Her mother, Gillian Adams had an eclectic range of music from blues, country, folk, rock and jazz and hosted a blues and jazz program on 2BBBfm Bellingen for over 25 years. Her mother’s passion for music was passed down to her children. Kylie grew up with her family singing folk songs around the table. She learned how to harmonize with her sisters. Her introduction to

live music came when she would sneak into the Federal Hotel lounge and watch the bands as he mother ran the Hotel bistro. Bellingen is a creative town and very proactive when it comes to music and the arts. Kylie was inspired to follow her dreams from an early age. She would often perform plays and songs at the local community centre which was a melting pot of creativity and a meeting place for “new settlers” in town. Kylie sang the leading roles in school musicals and decided that being on the stage was her calling. Meanwhile, she followed her mother’s footsteps and hosted her own radio show on 2bbbfm. Here the indpendant artist music world opened up as Kylie discovered like minded artists on vinyl. Kylie pursued a career in radio over a few years, exploring different musical styles and learning from it. She undertook internships with 2CHYfm, 2bbbfm and JJJfMm. Kylie recorded a jingle for Roy and HJ for This Sporting Life (Ashley Mallet’s Weather) which was aired on the ABC every week for many years. Kylie worked under Simon Marnie at FBI radio when the Sydney community radio station was test broadcasting. She volunteered as a librarian and set up an outdoor broadcast for Bondi Fringe Festival. Kylie is now hosting Country Folk Around Australia through the Community Radio Network. In Sydney to study fine art, Kylie began writing songs on an acoustic guitar that her sister had given her for her eighteenth birthday.

G’Day Members, Well to close off the year we had Midnight Special, Warren and the boys didn’t disappoint anyone with a good mix of music, and trivia questions in between the day was fantastic. We are having some issues with the carpets squares moving, I have taken this up with the lady from the council every month since we have been there. This is very dangerous to people walking between the rows of chairs. I ask you all to take care when moving around, we will get it fixed as soon as possible. Our New Year’s Eve Show went off very well, we could have done with more through the door but those who did come along all enjoyed themselves. So onto our January Show we have Key Country, this will be another great day. So until them.

Keep It Country. Regards to all Keith Warren President / Entertainment Officer

January Presidents Report

G’Day Members & Friends ,On behalf of myself and your committee we would like to wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year for 2017. Well we started the year off with a great show. With a minor adjustment to the sound we were off and running. Key Country were very good playing some new and some older music . They brought along Johnny Florence to do a walk up and oh brother didn’t he surprise every one . A sprightly 84 year old , who can put a lot of our younger generation to shame. He was fantastic. He sang songs for years gone by but they were great. Moving onto our February show we will have the band Called Creation. We have had them once before and they performed very well. So until then.

Keep It Country Regards To All Keith Warren President / Entertainment Officer..

Kylie Adams Collier’s Story Continues from Front PageShe sang with a rowdy country band called “The Willows” with Paul Hayward, Greg Morrow, Peter Kelly and Bruce Begley. kylie played at the legendary Sandringham Hotel in her early singing years. Home to many rising independent artists. Bruce Begley took Kylie under his wing as his popular band, the Honeys folded. Bruce asked singers to record his songs with his new band “ The Snow Leopards”. It featured Andrea Croft (The Honeys), Lisa Partington ( He Rosemaries), Greg Atkinson (Big Heavy Stuff) and Kylie singing country pop tracks. Peter Kelly (Disneyfist) Peter Kelly (Vanilla Chainsaws) James Lockett, Paul Nagel and Andrew Ingram were the band line up along with Bruce. The snow Leopards recorded two albums with Waterfront records which led to a national tour, JJJfm play listing Snow Leopard songs and a live at the wireless on JJJfm. Kylie’s “Oh Johnnie” video clip was played on ABC tv’s Rage. The Snow Leopards were also included on Roo Art’s Young Blood Compilation CD. This led to the Snow Leopards touring with the Fauves, The Clouds, The Welcome Mat and more popular independent bands in the 90’s. The Snow Leopards reached the

Top 10 in the Alternative Aria charts. For the next few years Kylie performed in lots of line ups with her then partner and guitarist, Dom Phillips. Tony Cooper and Mark Cunningham joined them in the Apollonions and Deep South where they supported many bands including Canned Heat,The Whitlams, Peggy Van Zalm, Richard Clapton, Mental As Anything and Lonesome Boogie to name a few. Kylie then decided to move

back to her hometown of Bellingen. This inspired her to write more country songs. Her song “Wallpaper Horses” made it into the Tamworth Capitol Country Music Association song writing contest finals and was covered by local papers and even a channel 7 “furry animal story!” Kylie formed a band with Dominic Phillips, Brad Ross, Karen Braidwood and John Thorne called Kitty Adams and The Hi Ho Silvers. Kylie’s stage name “Kitty Adams” was born. Kylie continued to write songs and play country music, working with other songwriters and musicians, Sandra Clarke, Leisa Robinson and many others. Kylie went on to perform at many fundraising events wine fairs and pubs, showcasing her songs. Popular Bellingen Cafe and Venue “Cool Creek Cafe” supported Kylie (Kitty) in more ways than one. Annie and Shelly employed Kylie as their waitress where she met numerous touring acts. Sometimes she was a singing waitress on request! Annie would book Kylie as a headline act and she would fill the joint! Kylie’s story is too big for this issue so we will continue her story in our next issue.

ReminderPlease note that our April show will be put back byone week as our normal show falls on the Easterweekend. Show Date 23/4/2017
