Travellin’ Still - The Songs of Slim Dusty
2026-01-17 15:30 | The Event Centre, West Tamworth League Club, Tamworth, NSW, 2340, Australia
With Pete Denahy & the Travelling Country Band

When Slim Dusty’s Travelling Country Band played their last full show with Slim in 2002, the band members all went their separate ways.
Fast-forward to 2016, at the Slim Dusty Music Festival in Kempsey, NSW, they found themselves on-stage together for the first time in years. And it felt like only yesterday as the old songs, friendships and memories came flooding back. One comment from an audience member, “This show has to go on the road!” got them all thinking, why not? There aren’t many bands around where all the members were part of the Slim Dusty Show!
So, Rod Coe, Mike Kerin, Jeff Mercer, Rob Souter and Peter Denahy have decided to take the show on the road.
And what an experience this will be; five musicians who will be sharing stories, some of their own music and of course the songs of Slim Dusty which will sound pretty darn genuine because they’ll be played by his own band!
Rod Coe – bass; Slim’s longtime producer and bandleader
Mike Kerin – fiddle; Slim’s longest serving fiddle player – over 25 years in the band.
Jeff Mercer – lead guitar; Slim’s right hand man on stage, keeping “the sound” alive.
Doug Gallacher – drums; Doug played on many of Slim’s biggest hits including Lights On The Hill and a whole lot more.
Pete Denahy – guitar and vocals; Slim’s last band member who played as a musician and support artist.

Murphy's Pigs - Diggers
2026-01-17 17:30 | Diggers Showroom, 4 Kable Avenue, Tamworth, NSW, 2340, Australia
Following two sell-out shows at Diggers for the 2025 Tamworth Music Festival, award-winning Celtic-Rock Big Band Murphy’s Pigs are returning in 2026 for two great shows at Diggers and Blazes. They promise to drag you headfirst into their world of rugged mountains, stormy oceans, fearsome battles, unrequited love and a dram or two of fine whisky.
Mildly humorous onstage banter, an insane number of instruments and robust, manly voices unite to create an experience that will, unfortunately, be seared deep into your memory long after the performance is over. Boisterous chorus songs and lilting ballads compel the tone deaf to sing fervently while spirited jigs, reels and hornpipes spur the uncoordinated out onto the dance floor. One minute you’re crying into your Guinness, the next minute you’re pouring it over your head with a hearty cheer.
Toss into this chaos a handful of award-winning dancers and you have a potent brew seasoned with song, dance, and mirth. Aye, these young ladies are sweet, neat, and petite but they add that crucial beauty, grace and charm that a lot of sweaty men simply cannot muster.
If you like singing your heart out, stamping your feet, dancing like a loon or just wallowing in guilt-free revelry, then you won’t want to miss these shows.
