Well hello there Forte fam.
I’m Tammy Walters! You might remember me from such article titles From Dark Light To Neon Noir: The Illumination of Ville Valo, The Jackson’s Return To Australia: I’ll Be There, and Capturing the Chris Isaak Story.
It is my absolute honour to be stepping into the drivers’ seat as the Editor of Victoria’s premier music, arts, entertainment, food and culture magazine. Forte Magazine has been a mainstay in my life for as long as I can remember. Long before my contribution days, I used to pick up the old broadsheet fortnightly in the vestibule of the Old Courthouse Building, or at the old landmark Speakies, or desperately tuck it under my arm to smuggle home post-gig at The Nash. I would devour stories of the coolest bands like Jebediah and Regurgitator to the point of heartburn and be enthralled by the spectacular creation of Geelong Arts Centre. So it’s only fitting for my first issue that they come along for the ride.
