Hank concert rescheduled

Hank concert rescheduled - Published in the Warrnambool Standard 6th June 2013

THE birthday of Hank Williams is a much anticipated date each year in Warrnambool thanks to the annual tribute concert held as a fund-raiser for 3WAY FM. But things will change this year due to a change in date. Instead of being held around September 17 the tribute concert will move to August 22 to accommodate organiser Michael Schack, who will be travelling [to] Alabama in September to participate in celebrations for what would have been Williams’ 90th birthday.

Howard family in Tamworth 2013

Family harmony unites Howards

THE Howard Family is bound for Tamworth again next week for the 41st Tamworth Country Music Festival. The band, which includes Marcia, Damian and Shane Howard, will appear together in one show only during the festival at The Family Hotel on Wednesday. Individually the siblings are well-established artists, with Marcia and Shane having performed at the festival as part of Goanna in the 1980s, while Damian’s band The Ploughboys will hold their own show at Tamworth next week. The musical family, originally from Dennington, has been playing together all their lives, Marcia said. “It’s great to get together and play together, it’s lovely,” she told Offbeat. “I’ve played with Shane in Goanna for years and on his solo albums, and I’ve played with Damian for lots of years as the first keyboard player in the Ploughboys. “The harmonies are beautiful and we all write our own songs and play them too. “A lot of it has a family theme because we’re a family and we’ve all got our own families. “When we get together at Christmas we still have a good old singing session.” She said the family band performed at last year’s 40th anniversary festival at Tamworth, joined on stage by friends Troy Cassar-Daley, Sara Storer, Pete Denahy and Dobe Newton. “It was great,” Marcia said. “I hadn’t done Tamworth for years before that. “Shane and I had done it in the Goanna days in the ’80s but it has changed a lot since the early days. “It’s a pretty amazing festival. “It’s very different (from Port Fairy) because the folk festival employs acts and books them to come, but at Tamworth the venues are spread all over town and each artist does their own. “The mall in the main street has buskers everywhere, lots of people playing songs trying to get a break. You have to put on your own shows and create your own venues. “I know a lot of the musos up there and Damian has been going every year. “As a world country music festival it’s got a good reputation
