The events at the Coca-Cola stage all ran smoothly. Carol was polite and helpful, Jarrod was a great host.

It was an amazing opportunity to sing in the Coca-Cola Walk up and Sing and New Star competition. The hall is absolutely beautiful, the band are a bunch of legends, the sound guys are great and it is run so smoothly by some lovely people. It was just fantastic to be apart of!!

I have been performing with you for many years and it is always a highlight of my visit to Tamworth Country music Festival. The venue and audience, managers, compere and especially the great band are all a pleasure!!! Thank you and I hope I can be included next year when I am 81. Best wishes.

Great venue, great staff, great experience especially for the younger performers. It would be wonderful if they could receive some feedback so they too can improve. Many thanks. We will see you in 2019!

Great venue at the Town Hall for the Coca Cola Events and I liked that there was an event for over 50 seniors in the New stars event.... a bit disappointed though in not being notified whether I was successful or unsuccessful by the afternoon of 26th ( it’s now 6:30pm and no word ) ... either way would’ve been good

Thanks Coca Cola

Coca-Cola Country........you've done it again! A magnificent venue, the best backing band in town & so professionally run. Thanks so much for having me.

Was such a great experience, and awesome to meet new people! Will definitely do it again.

Thankyou to all the personnel and musicians that put this together. I had an amazing time!

Such a smooth and professionally run event. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Thank you

Such a great set up. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The events are smoothly and professionally run

Very smoothly organised and run a pleasure to attend

Great experience for our daughter Ariana Brogden this morning at battle of the young stars. Look forward to doing it again next year.

Great support

Great support

Great support

Your team are fabulous. Really well run event. Maybe could be improved by giving info on the website and in a handout to acts as to how the judging is done, what the criteria for judging is and how participants are notified of the winners etc. ps we weren't there to " compete" but it still would be nice to understand how it works. Thanks for having us. Great sound and stage team. Well done.

So professionally run from booking to checkin to on stage. And the best competition band I have ever seen.

As usual, a beautiful venue and a pleasure to perform in. With absolutely no intent to take anything away from this marvelous place, it would be beneficial to have refreshments available in the right hand room as performers prepare and are tuning their instruments. My first experience here in 1983 before going overseas performing memorable and today the upgrades and modernised equipment made my 2018 experience a joy. Kind regards, Heath Watts

Great time all round!! Great people to work with from help with booking in to Lyndon doing the sound being so sweet with the girls. Such a great experience. Thank you.

Loved the walkups. Everything went smoothly. On time. Very easy. Great sound and awesome band. Best venue.

I had a wonderful time on the Coca Cola Country stage at Town Hall performing two of my original songs with my drummer had a Wonderful response from the Fantastic audience. Thanks so much for having me on Coca Cola Country again .. I hope do it again next year. Many Thanks Melissa

Everyone was friendly and good natured....it was a absolutely fantastic venue, would be great to have a big showcase there one night with bands etc. but without the seating

Brett and all the team were so nice. I had so much fun. I'll be back next year.

Me and Mum loved our experience. Was a comfortsble place to stop, sing and rest. Every one was so nice and kind

Couldn't fault our experience with the Coca Cola Battle of the Youngstars. Awesome venue and great sound. Band were excellent

We feel that everything was organised very well and the stage staff were very professional in aiding to our needs on stage. The sound was excellent and the band was excited to perform on this stage and in this atmosphere. Thank you for the opportunity

Excellently organised. Great band and sound. Thank you.

Once again I had a great experience on stage at the Town hall, wonderfull venue, the band was terrific. No complaints. Although, I did get there early 3/4 of an hour early and they were ahead of time due to people dropping out, so I sang way before my slotted time and people who came to listen to me missed my performance.

My daughters experience today was absolutely awesome on coca cola stage. Thankyou for allowing her the chance to perform

I had a great ecperience. Everyone was nice, helpful it was really chilled. Great stage set up.

Thank you so much for the opportunity the Young Stars Talent Quest has given my daughter Brooke, she won the Junior section. The competition ran seamlessly and we knew what we had to do at any given time. We loved the experience. This was our first year and the friends we have made is amazing. Thank you so much

Thanks for a great opportunity to play in such an iconic venue as Tamworth Town Hall.

Hi, we really enjoy the opportunity to play in this beautiful venue and with such an awesome band. We would have liked the chance to play another song this year in the Battle of the young stars. We would also really benefit from receiving some feedback from the judges perhaps by email after the event,

Only entered my daughter in this competition at the last minute and she ended up winning it. From the very first contact in Luci at the desk, right through to the band members, sound guy and sponsors, the whole experience was smoothly done and professional. Can't reccommend this competition highly enough. Fantastic experience- thank you!

Hi, I thought that the dropping to a single song for heats and finals was a bit of a let down for Intermediate and Senior Sections in the Battle of the Young Stars (I believe it should go back to 2 songs). In the Junior section 1 song is OK as it does not put too much on the very young. All other parts seemed to run exceptionally well.

Thank you for the opportunity to once again (6+) play in the Town Hall which is so much better than the tent in the park etc. Al and the band are great and it is worth coming to Tamworth to play with them Thanks again Luci and the team. I hope I can keep coming there for plenty of times in the future. Well done and many thanks. Best wishes, Geoff Williams

I found performing at the coca cola event in Tamworth Town Hall to be an enjoyable experience. The stage manager lady could not have been more helpful and the show was run with professionalism and structure. 10 out of 10 as far as I'm concerned - congrats to all concerned. Maurice Hardy

I had a great time on Coca - Cola Country I sold a number of cd's and did quite a few signings for people it was the best event for meat The Tamworth Country Music Festival 2016 Cheers Melissa

Stage Manager was great very helpful Sound Crew were helpful and very professional It was awesome when the audience wanted more and the staff let us squeeze one more in. Excellent Time Looking forward to doing it all again. Pete

Hi Thanks for having me for the battle of the young stars . It was a great experience on a fantastic stage Thank you also to Luci from Fairfax media who was so friendly and helpful.

I have enjoyed the opportunity to get up on stage with the band and perform. It was definitely a new experience but I was comforted by lovely people. I hope to perform next year!!!

Great Competition

I always enjoy performing at the Coca Cola Battle of the Bands-the atmosphere and the friendliness of the crowd that it attracks is always a great platform for up and coming bands to be seen and heard. I have attended this competition for a few years now and I have only ever enjoyed myself!

Extremely well organised days, on time and well promoted. Thanks to all involved and look forward to Gayle and I seeing you next year

I must say that I was very impressed with the whole experience! The stage manager and the young lady in charge in front of house, were both professional and very organised. The guys in the band, were more than happy to play along, even though I had no music for them to read from, the music they provided was excellent and I could not fault it or anything else that day. Thank you for an amazing experience

Hi folks, it was a great experience playing the town hall...huge, the guys were pretty organised, proffesional, gave me a few tickets as well whoch was very well recieved.

The only problem with the Coca-Cola stage is that if a person only has 2 songs to do, make sure they know that is all they have and not do another. This happens constantly and should be addressed. I think that 2 songs is really not enough but if that is the rule, then make sure it is obeyed.

Had an amazing time, thank you. Such an honour to perform on The Tamworth Town Hall stage with Coco Cola Country!

Really enjoyed being part of the show. Well looked after by Luci and Lara. The sound was great and the Town Hall has a nice relaxed atmosphere. Thanks for having us. Johnny Doyle Band
