TALENT SEARCH

Mick Fetch – posted on Merriwa Connect
G’day Everyone! Some of you would be aware that Cassilis will be holding their Country Music and Camping event on the long weekend in October. The fun starts on Friday the 29th of September and I will be looking after the sound and lighting for the event, plus playing some tunes of course.
 
I’m also organising a Talent Search on the Saturday for any amateur artists interested in performing. Theres a junior and an open section with the final being held on Sunday. You can back yourself or there will be my backing band, Left Hand Drive there to help you along.
 
 
Country Music has always been a genre that has supported young and old up and coming artists, and this Talent Search will be no different.
 
See you soon!
