You are also invited to attend an Industry networking event. We invite anyone from any art form to come along to meet and greet other creatives and create space to share and collaborate on ideas, with nibblies provided.

Friday 8 November, 2024 - Gunnedah at Gunnedah Hotel (The Gunnedah Hotel, 298 Conadilly Street, Gunnedah New South Wales 2380)
MusicNSW and Arts North West will also be at The Armidale Black Gully Music Festival on Saturday 9 November, 2024 supporting the NENW leg of the MusicNSW ‘Winding North Tour’ with regional artists including Bella Frankie, Kirsty Larkin and Ollie Twohill:
Bella Frankie is ARIA Award-winning artist Michael Turner, theatre maker Ajita Cannings, cellist Natasha Kraemer (Australian Haydn Ensemble) and harmonica player Steve Gilbert (Shane Howard Band). They share stories of love, flood, community and their two black dogs.
New England North West performer, based in Manilla, the “All-in kinda mama” Kirsty Larkin brings a playful mix of soul, dark-Americana, and a touch of whimsy that draws listeners into her world of unexpected charm and raw emotion. She has collaborated with Gareth Hudson (Hazy Cosmic Jive) and Bill Chambers, amongst many others.
Playing songs ranging from hope, love, loss and trauma, Ollie Twohill influences are Australian folk, 2000s pop punk, and the groundswell of talent around Northern NSW. He has self-released nine singles to date and shared the stage with artists such as Budjerah and The Buckleys.
This road trip is a great chance and an invaluable opportunity to connect with some of the leading arts bodies in NSW, providing a space to discuss significant industry changes, explore pathways, and identify new opportunities for regional creatives. It's a chance for us to share ideas, collaborate, and support each other in navigating the evolving arts landscape. Both organisations are committed to fostering growth and would love to join forces with you to nurture creativity, inspire innovation, and broaden our collective creative horizons.
We hope to see you while we are on the road.
