October *ouch* 

Yes it's October so "pinch and a punch" or "white rabbit" whatever you prefer.  Another month of 2013 done and dusted!  You might be thinking that January is way off , but Tamworth Country Music Festival trying to sneak up on us, is like trying to sneak a sunrise past a rooster!  Can't be done!  We all know it's coming and we're all busy busting our tooshies to get things organised!

It's all systems go here in Nia-land, wrangling singer-songwriters/storytellers into an enormous Storytellers event.  FIFTY fabulous songwriters....can you believe it?  I am so excited to be able to  share the incredible talents of these wonderful creators with you!  This year, I've planned a special event for the youngsters - 18 and under and we have a whole show of young songwriters who will thrill you with their talents...the youngest so far is 12 and this little songwriter will amaze you too!

I've also been so very fortunate in obtaining financial assistance from two very wonderful sponsors in Roots of Music Aus and Cranbourne Music.  So please support them and appreciate them for their acknowledgement of original song writing and songwriters and acoustic music.  Huge thankyous from me as without you - we could never grow as we have this year!!!

So, keep an eye out for festival events, they're sprouting up all over the place, but remember to book some Storytellers shows into your schedule between  20-24 January 2014, IBIS Styles Tamworth Towers. 80-90 Ebsworth Street, Tamworth!
