Tamworth Festival wrap The Tamworth Country Music Festival has come and gone for another year, with most reporting the 10 day event (plus lead-up Countdown) as highly successful.
Overall Festival co-ordinators Tamworth Regional Council and new Festival promoters Tourism Tamworth have been putting a very positive spin on Tamworth 2006 and for good reason. According to a report in the Northern Daily Leader, Tourism Tamworth, which also sells tickets for many of the Festival's major events, reported ticket sales of 38,590, almost 10,000 up on last year with many shows selling out either before the concerts or at the door. The three major focal points of the Festival – Tamworth Town Hall (and the city's central business district), West Tamworth League Club and the Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre (hosting the annual Golden Guitar Awards and Toyota Country Theatre for seven days) – all seemed to be very well supported. As were most other venues, ranging from pubs and clubs to church and community halls, visitor attractions and shopping Centres. This issue of our Internet News completes our daily coverage of Tamworth 2006 with a catch-up of some of the last events and competitions. Our regular weekly news re-commences from Wednesday (subject, of course, to any breaking news which will be added to the site as it happens. | |||||||||
Certainly, the Festival has well and truly bounced back towards normal from the previous year when date changes caused all sorts of problems.
