A little while back, by a little while, I mean probably 3 or 4 years ago, I made the decision to make another record. This album that my ace collaborators and I have been working on for a while now is finally going to fly out of our ears and into yours in the coming months. The album is called All You Have Is All You Need and I'd like to think there is something on there for everyone. I am going to document the process of my album release with full transparency, from the creative sparks through to my thoughts on the industry and the change we've all been waiting for. Throughout the year I'll be sharing a journal on my website with these thoughts and ideas. The link is in my bio. ๐ท Spilting Films


Captured by Ben Mcnamara, here's a shot of me trying my best magnum look for the Society shoot last year, I thought it would be relevant to share this one because I found out today that the song has been listed in the top 20 songs for song of the year - an APRA AMCOS peer voted tally ๐ฎ It's nice to have this type of acknowledgment and to be sitting alongside some Aussie greats including my mate Angie McMahon for her song Slow Mover. Thanks to Milly and the APRA team as well as co-collaborators Mozella and Bram Inscore ๐




Thanks to those of you who have been posting pics of your Seeking Alternative tees, they are almost gone! If you are keen to get one of these or a Running Second tee, we are doing a final pre-holiday send out this week. Each order comes with a lil personalised card. Love Ains x ๐ www.ainsliewills.com/aw-goodies


So proud to announce that I'm now an APRA AMCOS Ambassador amongst a whole bunch of Aussie music legends! APRA do amazing work at supporting artists across a wide variety of genres. They are just the most beautiful people as well. I feel honoured to have a small part in what they do. Flashback to me singing Society to a live audience for the first time at the APRA Awards, juuuust keeping it all together. I was so nervous. Speaking of which, if you're an APRA member you can now vote for Society as Song of the Year if you want to swing a vote that way.

Iโve just learned triple j are partnering with Lifeline for this yearโs #Hottest100 to raise awareness and much needed funds for mental health. To help boost the campaign triple j are encouraging people to vote and post, donate directly to Lifeline or buy a Hottest 100 t-shirt and proceeds will go to charity. If you have a spare moment, do what you can! Iโll be posting my votes soon, itโs taking me freakinโ ages to pick. Thank to the lovelies who have included Society in yours ๐๐ป ๐



Its supposed to be a lot of fun being in the music biz, some of the time for a number of reasons (which I won't get into here), it's not, here are a few snaps, taken by the incredibly talented @michelleghunder, of one of the most enjoyable shows I've done in a while. Thank you to the whole team involved in making this show fun...this is not to say that there wasn't tonne of hard work that went into making it happen! I feel lucky to be surrounded by good hearted people: @charlotteabroms @angiemcmahon @grettaray @lawfol @arronlight @jonosteer @mattdugred @gormieee @stimplyren @connorb_h & @joshbarber




Oh hi there, looking so productive huh? If only it were true ๐I'm just taking a break from writing my memoirs to add a little reminder on here about this show I've got coming up with @angiemcmahon and @grettaray. We'll be coming together to play some new tunes and just generally hang with some good people, also, 5% of proceeds will go to a mental health charity in memory of Scott Hutchison. Hope to see you there ๐Pic by @thisisbenemac


The amount of times I've knocked my teeth on the mic whilst my eyes were closed ๐คฆโโ๏ธ it's a wonder I have any left. I'll be holding this type of stance and a host of others when @lawfol @arronlight and I play @thelostlandsfestival Nov 3. Head to lostlands.com.au for more info.

Harmony singing, one of my fave things to do on earth, got to do it last month in Lundun with these two beauties and we will hopefully get to do it again for our Melbourne Music Week show next month. Shout out to @charlotteabroms who made it all come together for us. Also to @saaamfurness for the vid. I don't know how I almost forgot to thank the author of the song - Emma Louise what a beauty it is x



A coming together of good people for a night of new music as part of @melbournemusicweek with proceeds going to charity in loving memory of Scott Hutchison, can't wait for this one team. ๐Tickets - http://bit.ly/2po970L



Tour Party Profile #4
Hard on the outside soft in the middle, the notorious (in a good way) Arron Light Lover of Chocolate and founding member of the exclusive Chocolate Club (other members include AW and LF). Favourite past-times include listening to Meshugga, drum-kit restoration and hanging with his dog Lena.
An amazing improviser and musician who has dedicated much time to this project thank you ๐


Tour Party Profile #3 - We have Lawrence Folvig , also known as Larry, Lance, Lawz, Lawz-burger and Lawrie.
Ever wanted a soundtrack to blissful dreaming? Lawrie is your man, never known anyone to create sound from a Guitar like this guy can, an incredibly kind hearted meticulous and creative soul who has the best dance moves I've ever seen (true!) He also plays bass like a boss. Lawrie loves Jalapeรฑos, pasta ๐ and he and makes THE best cakes including my fave - Raspberry and White Chocolate cheesecake. ๐ Pic by @jemseligfreeman


Tour Party Profile # 2 - Mega producer, sound engineer, and musician - Jono Steer . He loves Castlemaine, loves a good pub meal and most days can be found saying ' ha, ha ho, ho, ha' whilst tuning the room pre-soundcheck. Another extremely hard working, generous and talented soul with a heart of gold ๐ thank you, thank you. Pic by @jemseligfreeman


Tour Party Profile #1
Mega manager Charlotte Abroms -
Captain of the ship, lover of a laff, owner of Colgates healthiest smile (will you look at those pearlers!). She loves a good hot sauce, great poetry, Nirvana and is an extremely generous, courageous, creative, hard-working and sensitive soul. We can not thank you enough for all that you do ๐



If I can help alleviate the pressure that some women feel trying to contemplate motherhood/careers and ageism in the music industry by opening up about my own struggle, then I feel like I'm doing my job... thanks to Annelise Ball from WildnFree for such an inspiring and connected interview... one of my faves of all time. x
