Deepwater Roots And Blues Fest
Focus
- Deepwater is a small scale festival focused on roots and blues music. With summer ending this festival is a great opportunity to see "up-and-coming" artists, some of the elders and perhaps a celebrity or two using the event as a warm-up or sounding-board in their tour. Either way, it is a great opportunity for music fans to get up close and personal with the artists and for the performers to try something different with the audience.
- Based on 2 stages - the "Valley Stage" dedicated to acoustic, percussion and workshops, whilst the "Blues House" stage can deliver a wall of blues to full on rock! Camping is available onsite as well as accommodation in nearby towns.
- This festival is not for those who seek the highest paid artists or who enjoy moshing in beer swill. Deepwater is family friendly and a great event to chill out, get to know the artists, learn something new and go home knowing you had a great time - that is not easily forgetten as the rest of life rolls on. If that is what you seek, Deepwater Roots & Blues Fest is for you!

- Huge line up of Australia's leading metal rock bands in major venues performing Saturday and Sunday every weekend. This is huge!

- We couldn't get a permanent venue or site for overnight camping as the punters would have torn it apart, so we did even better - take it across the nation to where the people live.

- The way festivals were intended to be - before money and huge crowds separated the experience between the audience and the artist.

Tenterfield Country Muster
Focus
- Imagine a country music festival where some of the best talent performs over 2 stages with a capped audience maximum of 2,000 across a 2,000 acre hidden valley!
- Well this is the setting for the Tenterfield Country Muster held the second weekend every January - that's right - just a weekend before Tamworth just 2 hours down the highway.
- It is back to basics with camping encouraged onsite, artist CDs and merchandise available, workshops to skill up, audience participation, children activities and of course the opportunity to really meet the performers. And to with a ceiling on attendence, we ensure that it stays that way.
