With a little over 150 days to go until the big event, Destination Tamworth announced country superstar Amber Lawrence will join legendary singer songwriters Adam Brand and Troy Cassar-Daley as festival ambassadors.
Tamworth Regional Council events manager Barry Harley said the ambassadors would play an important role in advocating everything great about Tamworth, not just in January, but all year ‘round.
“Troy Cassar-Daley is currently the official ambassador to Tamworth and is such a fantastic advocate for everything that Tamworth has to offer. He visits Tamworth often, but his favourite time of year is January where he loves to meet his fans and take in the atmosphere of the Festival,” Mr Harley said.
He said the festival is unique in that it caters for all music tastes, and all walks of life. Families are spoilt for choice, with dedicated family zones, concerts for the kids and of course, Tamworth’s award-winning playgrounds.
“We have invited Amber Lawrence on board as our Family Ambassador, which is such a great fit. We are planning on the largest ever family zone which is dedicated purely to family fun,” he said.
“Amber has recently released her ‘Kids Gone Country’ album which has been a huge success. She will return to Tamworth in January, taking the stage during the Family Support Concert in the Park and performing a headline show on Friday January 27.”
Adam Brand will take on the role of Party Ambassador, showing the world how to have a great time in Tamworth this January.
“Adam sure knows how to let his hair down in Tamworth, and is famous for his midnight gigs. We are excited to have Adam on board to show people how to party in Tamworth for one, two or ten days this January,” Mr Harley said.
“With over 120 venues in the region, visitors to the Festival will have no trouble finding a place to dance the night away to some great music.”
The ambassador announcements follow early bird tickets which went on sale to the Golden Guitar awards and the tourism body also broke tradition by announcing an early lineup for local venues.
