Event Highlight - Artist Billy Gudgeon
Billy Gudgeon is rapidly establishing himself as one of the standout talents in Australian country music. Often compared to the legendary John Farnham, Billy is a powerhouse vocalist known for his extraordinary range, control, and captivating stage presence that can halt conversations and draw everyone’s attention.

His voice, described as big, raw, and distinctly Australian, encapsulates a rich tapestry of emotions, effortlessly balancing heartfelt ballads with high-energy anthems. Tamworth Hands of Fame inductee and country music veteran Col Finley, a respected figure in the industry, has called him “one of the most powerful voices in Australian country music,” highlighting the impact he has made in a relatively short time.

Billy’s musical style uniquely blends modern country with heartland rock, resonating deeply with the working-class spirit and everyday experiences of his listeners. His growing discography includes a series of singles that showcase his commitment to authenticity and storytelling.

Event Highlight - Artist The Finley's
In the vibrant world of country music, the inspiring story of Col Finley and his wife Nellie, known collectively as The Finley’s, stands out as a heartwarming testament to love and resilience. Their journey is not simply about musical triumphs but an abiding love and unshakeable bond forged through years of challenges. With over 30 years in the industry, Col has emerged as a respected veteran. Nellie, a Starmaker finalist on the verge of a Nashville career, chose to embrace life as a mother, a wife, and a small-town Hairdresser. Together, they bring their rich experiences and emotions to life through their music.
