"I was very lucky," she reflects on finding that first drum kit, which led to her joining the Go-Betweens in 1980 after a string of previous drummers. The band would go on to create Australian classics like "Cattle and Cane" and "Streets of Your Town," both recognized among Australia's greatest songs.Beyond the drum kit, Lindy's contributions to music run deep. With a background in social work, she spent 25 years helping develop Support Act, Australia's music industry charity that provides crisis relief to music professionals experiencing hardship. Her community work extended to organizing music events across Australia and working with an intellectually disabled band for over two decades. These contributions earned her the Order of Australia Medal in 2013 and numerous industry accolades.Now, at a stage when most would rest on their laurels, Lindy is embarking on perhaps her most personal musical journey yet. With the Snarky Circus Lindy Band, she's recording her own compositions for the first time.
