“Hey Australia, it’s Dermot Kennedy here… I am so so happy to be a part of this year’s ARIA Awards at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney. I’ll be presenting the Telstra Teacher Of The Year Award… This one really holds a special place in my heart because I know how important my own teachers were in my life and how they nurtured my love for music at such a crucial time. I think teachers play such an important role in music and in society and so I’m really honoured to present this award. I can’t wait! I’ll see you there November 15.”
