About Live And Exclusive Shorts With Baz and Deveski
Australian arts and culture, unfiltered. Bandwidth is a conversation show about the independent music and film scene, and the people building it. Each episode brings two or more voices together to argue, unpack and celebrate the reality of making art here: the gigs, the grants, the festivals, the funding fights, the films that never got finished and the ones that did. No press releases, no fluff, just honest discussion about where independent Australian creativity is actually going, and who is taking it there. New episodes weekly.
Sophie Lowe and co-host Liam Welsh unpack what OzInDi Network Australia is (a creator-first, not-for-profit national network built for discovery, visibility, community and real opportunity) and why creatives should reclaim ownership of their art, audience and identity from platforms and algorithms that don't reliably serve them.

Bluesfest Cancelled… and the Busking Stage Went Silent | With Ian Mathers & Will Cliff
In this Live and Exclusive Short, Baz and Deveski speak with Will Cliff and Ian Mathers about the fallout from the cancellation of Bluesfest (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0) — and the artists who were left behind.
For many emerging musicians, the Busking Stage represents a rare opportunity to perform in front of new audiences and be part of one of Australia’s most iconic festivals. With the event cancelled, that opportunity disappeared overnight.
Will and Ian share their perspectives on the disappointment of missing out, what the festival meant for their careers, and the emotional and practical impact of losing a moment that had been built toward for months.
The conversation also explores the wider flow-on effects across the industry — from lost exposure and income to the growing uncertainty facing festivals, artists, and audiences alike.
What does this mean for emerging artists moving forward?
And how does the industry rebuild trust and opportunity after moments like this?

The Rise of Backyard Touring in Australia | With Will Cliff
In this snippet from Live and Exclusive with Baz & Deveski, Baz and Deveski sit down with Will Cliff to explore one of the most exciting grassroots movements in Australian music right now — backyard touring.
Across the country, artists are stepping away from traditional venues and taking their shows directly to the fans, performing in backyards, creating intimate experiences, and building real connections — all while selling merch and growing their audience organically.
The conversation dives into how these free, community-driven shows are opening new doors for independent musicians, breaking down barriers, and offering an alternative pathway to touring in an increasingly difficult live music landscape.
Is backyard touring just a trend…
or could it reshape how artists connect with audiences in Australia?
