Travel from Perth to Tamworth Country Music Festival by busHave you ever wanted to go to the Tamworth Country Music Festival from Perth, but thought it was too far? It was too hard to organise? It was??? Crikey, not any more. After having a fabulous trip in 2008, 2009 and 2010, we will be doing it all over again in 2011. We have a bus leaving Perth for Tamworth Saturday 8th January 2011 for 22 amazing days. The 2010 Tamworth Country Music Festival has its Official Opening on Friday 14th January 2011 and you can be there! The Golden Guitar Awards are on Saturday 24th January 2011 and you can be there! The 2011 festival is Tamworth’s 39th and if it’s going to be anything like the 2010 festival – then you should be there. The Tamworth Country Music Festival is widely recognised as one of the top events on the world's country music calendar and has grown to become one of Australia's greatest events. The unique atmosphere offers a distinctive blend of contemporary and traditional country music, with many shows offering free admission. From the moment the Mayor declares "let the fun and the music commence" during the Official Opening Ceremony and Concert of the Tamworth Country Music Festival, until the flag is lowered at the Closing Ceremony you will be experiencing the entire spectrum of Bush Ballads, Bluegrass, Bush Poetry, Country Rock and Retro, Line Dancing and Bush Dancing, Contemporary, Acoustic, A grade Musicians "Jamming" etc The festival offers over 2000 events staged in over 100 different venues. These venues range from a selection of clubs, pubs, church halls, shopping centres and on the streets. The entertainment presented will range from listening to buskers as they entertain in the CBD area or taking your seat in the 5,000 capacity Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre. The Tamworth Country Music Festival is the largest country music festival in the Southern Hemisphere and attracts the 'who's who' of country music. While the Tamworth Country Music Festival hosts a stellar group of contemporary artists at its major venues the traditionalists are never forgotten. In fact the elements which make up the festival allow no one to be overlooked. Many visitors do not even go as country music lovers. They go to be a part of the colour they have seen on their televisions, read in print or tuned into on radios. More often than not they leave as converted fans. Tamworth, best known as Australia's country music capital - is a sophisticated regional city surrounded by thriving agricultural properties and home to around 50,000 residents. This swells by another 50,000 visitors who make this a truly friendly festival.
