I photographed The Jack Awards at Luna Park on Tuesday night.
It’s the annual Jack Daniel’s sponsored music industry piss up, with some awards given out and artist performances in between. Always lots of fun.
You can see my shots in the Jack Awards 2007 photo gallery.
The winners were:
- Best Live Band: Wolfmother
- Best Male Performer: Daniel Johns (Silverchair)
- Best Female Performer: Katy Steele (Little Birdy)
- Best International Touring Act: Foo Fighters

- The Ian Rilen Best Bass Guitarist: Andy Kent (You Am I)
- Best Drummer: Ben Gillies (Silverchair)
- Best Dressed: Katy Steele (Little Birdy)
- Best Tour Art: James Bellisini (The Big Day Out 2006)

Rigged, rigged, rigged!!
Best venue is the Cambridge Hotel… 😀
I’d agree with most of those selections, particularly the Red Riders…though I bet Airbourne were a close second…maybe next year..
Did they drop the ‘rock photographer’ category? They may have run out of Tony Mott plaques.
I got really drunk. Was fun after they let me go to toilet. Andrew Stockdale looks like a hungry giant about to start eating the crowd. Wolfmother really are literally MASSIVE!!
I’m surprised about the Gaelic Club. It would rank below the Metro and the Hopetoun in my mind
Go Angry!
He was great at the Ian Rilen tribute last year

He managed to shake people’s hands in the front row and still sing the song.
That Tex photo is dynamite.
