Whos coming to Tamworth? Its going to be a big year as the festival makes a special tribute to Slim. “In 2014, the Festival will pay tribute to one of its pioneers, Australian icon and country music legend, Slim Dusty,” said Tamworth Region Mayor Col Murray. A bronze statue of country music’s first couple, Slim Dusty and Joy McKean will be unveiled in Tamworth this January. A Slim Dusty Tribute Concert is also planned and an exhibition of Slim’s famous memorabilia will be on display. “The Slim Dusty statue is to country music what the Don Bradman statue is to cricket. It is of national significance and Tamworth is very proud to be honoring these iconic Australians.” “We’re expecting the 2014 Festival to be bigger and better than ever – we look forward to welcoming visitors to the Festival this January. Over 50,000 people are expected to visit the Festival daily,” said Cr Murray.
