The Road to Tamworth
Permalink  

Hi guys, 

I haven't been on much lately,been real busy.

 

any way were off to Tamworth tomorrow for the Tamworth country music festival..

unfortunately, my friend and signer  Gordy, lost his brother last weekend .

He was 64 and had a heart attack... 

so we got the funeral in the morning and then off to tamworth... 

I said we could call it off if he wanted to but Gordy still wants to do it..

just going to be late by the time we get into tamworth tomorrow night (friday)

at least our gig is on saturday arvo 2.20 at the coca cola country stand if any one is in the 

area and want's to say g'day !

also , any one know of Jade Hurley ??

long story short , he heard me talking on 2ue over nights the other day and wished us luck

and I emailed him and thanked him for his best wishes.

He, Mr Jade Hurley said he had a listen to our music and thought we were pretty good..

so that was pretty cool...

 

any way , early night tonight, big weekend... 

wish us well...were gonna need it...

hi Paul, it went really well, will be putting video up on our site once its loaded up to youtbe.

Unfortuantly Gordy's brothers funeral didn't start till 2ish and then they didn't get back to nowra from ulladula untill
around 7pm , by the time we got going we and fueld us and the car up a few times, and hitting a roo about 80k south tamworth, no damage to car but we think we clipped his tail...poor thing..
any way we rocked into tamworth about 3 am saturday morning.. what drive!

We had a look around and did our gig at 2pm, they were rushing things a bit, as usual with the festivals!

but we still put on a good show, bit of an audience.
we stopped and watched a few shows of other people on saturday night and then came home this morning..
not long home... so very tired...

some pics for you guys, 

Milo and Gordy , in the main street and at the big golden guitar 

and some main street pics, also a pic of the stage we played on, at the war memorial I think it was.

so its all good... but all very tired!!

Sorry Milo - forgot about the Nowra one - now can I have your autograph? Did you see Kasey Chambers - I just love her, and her dad Bill is a fantastic bloke, they played at Boonah once, I was in the front row (got a friend who gets the tickets for me, works at the Cultural Centre in Boonah, always get front row) - anyway he sang a song that made me cry, after the show he came looking for me, and gave me a great big hug - lovely, lovely man, and Kasey is so natural, easy to talk to.

Checked out the Tamworth video Milo - not bad at all, I like that song "What's it gonna take". Well done, keep it up.
