The newsest family member “India” with “Auntie” Karen who goes right back to the  friendships of the Three Chord Wonders days of first arriving in Tamworth! Daughter Sharna with Hubby Clint were suddenly in Tamworth as I got back- heading in opposite directions! Hearty but loyal ships in the night!

Next night straight into House of Jazz at Tamworth Community Centre with Ant Walmsley on guitar again & Garry Steel on the Bechstein

– but we’d best first tune it !!

And speaking of Piano – Hester Fraser here as GOLDHEIST as we head via our “names in lights” at an Armidale “Pop” night to our fav Pizza Bar in /at Glen Innes Celtic Fest!

But Oh! My! The characters we meet! Local Peter Sim took me to this fella and his home underway with rare building pizazz!

But our stages do get mighty classy too!

Tis all in the hair do!!

Piano light up in Wauchope Arts Centre!

So a moment behind the scenes before Goldheist was thought of!
You can take the girl out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the girl !!

A wind down in them thar hills – after the calm down at Stroud!

This area now resonates in her song – The River

You can even see the piano that brought the house alive back in the day!

Meanwhile we also  caught up with dear Matt Zarb & family – just before the rain flooded them in the next week!

Oh! What a year!
