TAMWORTH 2016 - Day Eight Continued (The gig)

What an incredible night. All the performers shone, and proved that they are the future of Country Music here in Australasia and abroad. 

Our group have the 3rd set of the night and absolutely nailed it. My version of Zac Brown Band's "Chicken Fried" went down just as well here as it does in rural New Zealand. The band were tight. Everyone enjoyed the music. Ultimately, it was just a fantastic show. 

It was great chatting with people in the pub during and after the show. I managed to talk to a couple of professionals in the industry, and get their take on why Tamworth is so great. It is so good to see like-minded driven people doing what they love. 

As is was a pub, obviously there was a drink or 2. It was a pity however that the bars were getting to lock down as we were leaving. We therefore came back to campus (via a hilarious drive-thru experience at one of the three different McDs in this town), and jammed with the tutors till the wee hours of the morning. 

Tomorrow we have a sleep in. I know it's going to be well deserved already.
