Introduction: It's important to know that each venue is associated
mainly with one particular style of country music
and this chosen style stays much the same year after year
even if different bands are booked.
Pubs: There are many in Tamworth. About half are right in town,
but the rest are scattered around and you have to find out where they are.
Clubs: The biggest club in town by far is the West Tamworth Leagues Club
which is at West Tamworth of course and is commonly known as Wests or just WTLC.
They took over the RSL club a few years ago, and after a beaut art deco renovation,
it's now called Wests Diggers. The Diggers is right in town next to the river.
The Services Club is in Marius Street also right in town.
Years ago there was a big Workmans club. And of course, there is the Golf Club.
Bowling Clubs: There are at least five bowling clubs in the city,
and all have a programme of country music during the festival.
Just to be different, the venues are now presented in suburb order.
The Main Street
(I have decided to write this without saying CBD, downtown or uptown.)
Like many country towns, the shopping centre is basically four blocks
of the main street, plus a bit in the side streets.
