Tamworth Music on Country 2023

UNE Tamworth hosted a Music on Country Event at Tamworth Youthie, the Coaldale Youth Centre, on Monday 16 January 2023 as a community outreach event.
An art exhibition Ngaarr, Wandabaa, Thanbarran was held prior to an afternoon of music with lots of food for all, community and information stalls and networking available throughout the day.
Ngaarr, Wandabaa, Thanbarran means Strong Spirit Connection in the language of Gamilaraay.
The music featured the spirited talents of local First Nations creatives Uncle Roger Knox, Buddy Knox, the Gomeroi Dance Academy, and Uncle Len Waters presenting a smoking ceremony as part of the Welcome to Country.
Supported by community NGO's, Arts North West and the Oorala Aboriginal Centre this collaborative event was well attended with around 400 people enjoying the inspiring and creative event.
