Musicians / Performers (who have worked in the region) - BACK TO TOP OF PAGE

The Lonely Horse Band The Lonely Horse Band was an idea conceived at the 2006 Tamworth Country Music Festival by Andrew Hull, Tonchi McIntosh and Mick Daley. They quickly formed a loose collaboration intent on producing more original music relevant to the ‘One Horse Towns’ of Western NSW. A few beers later and the Lonely Horse Band was formed. All three artists had a lot of goodwill invested in the Bi-Annual Nymagee outback Music Festival. This community then became the focus for the ‘Living Memory’ project which, after securing some funding from the CASP program, conducted three days of interviews and songwriting in the village, resulting in the ‘Pomegranates and Peppercorn trees Album’ In 2007 the band rocketed throught the remote badlands of Western NSW from Weilmoringle to Nevertire with their 'Saddle Sores' tour.
