The Mills Sisters are prominent members of Darwin's Indigenous community and are often at the forefront speaking out on those issues that affect Indigenous people. Performance traditions in the Mills/McGinness family goes way back to their parents and grand parents. Many of the songs performed by the Mills Sisters have been co-written by their very talented mother Cathy Mills. The highlights of their music career so far have been supporting legendary artists such as Tina Turner, Charlie Pride, Sir Harry Secombe and special guest artists for the 1986 Alice Springs Papal Visit. The Mills Sisters are a group that will leave you laughing, crying and wanting more all at once. They are generous performers, wonderful people and very talented artists.
SARITAH Motivated by her belief that music is a tool through which positive social change can be inspired, Saritah's songs combine lyrics that are at once global and personal, political and spiritual, with music that incorporates many influences from around the globe. From soul through folk to roots and world beats, Saritah has clearly crafted her own unique style, which has a sincere, raw energy, and whether solo or with a band, is performed with such passion as to captivate the listener, young or old. Having toured Australia extensively as well as the UK and Europe, the WA-based artist has already supported such acts as The John Butler Trio, The Cat Empire, Ash Grunwald and Mick Hart to name a few.  Her debut album, 'gratitude', was released in April 2004.
