Tamworth Country Music Festival, NEW SOUTH WALES
Airing Date: Nov 13th, 2006
The good, the bad, and the hopeful. They're all in Tamworth every January for the country music festival. This is where it's all been happening for 35 years in Australia's Country Music capital.
The Tamworth Country Music Festival is without doubt one of Australia's greatest events. No longer stamped with a hillbilly image the music itself has slipped into the mainstream in a big way!
The final programme offers around 2500 events staged in over 100 different venues - clubs, pubs, church halls, shopping centres and even on the streets of Tamworth.
The entertainment itself ranges from buskers in the CBD to taking a seat in the 5,000 capacity Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre. This is where the final Awards ceremony takes place - the Toyota Country Music Awards Concert.
It only happens once a year - so start planning now!
