Fresh from a tour of the US to Kalangadoo
From a recent US tour to the town of Kalangadoo, Australian Country singer Catherine Britt brought her Bush Pubs Tour to the Kalangadoo Hotel on November 12th. As well as locals, people came from far and wide to support the event, - Casterton, Edenhope, Portland, Mount Gambier through to Beachport and Lucindale with many taking advantage of the free camping options at the new RV Campsite behind the Kalangadoo Hotel. They were not disappointed. With the pub filling up fast, beers flowing and amazing food to keep everyone satisfied, the music started.
Local act, Gruesome Twosome entertained the 200 strong crowd with a range of rock classics before Catherine Britt and her full band came out to loud applause. After returning from a recent 22 city tour of the US, Catherine showcased her new album “Home Truths”, along with plenty of songs from across her career.
Event organiser’s Natasha Little from Five Little Events and Kalangadoo Hotel Licensee’s Sean & Deb Docherty were thrilled to bring this show to a classic Bush Pub. Natasha commented that, “local’s told me that they hadn’t seen the pub this packed in years and this is how live music can support small communities like Kalangadoo.”
Sean said, “It was a great night, the Hotel was packed with a great atmosphere for a night of singing, and dancing.” A lot of people felt emotional when Catherine and local singer, Trevor “Gilly” Gill from support act, Gruesome Twosome sang Catherine’s song about cancer”.
Catherine commented “what an awesome venue and show, there were some great moments and I have met some amazing people.” Catherine is now preparing for further shows around the country in the lead up to the 2023 Tamworth Country Music Festival in January.
