For 1969, The Zin House was yet another stop on their latest regional tour that has seen them perform to sold out crowds at the Tamworth Country Music Festival over the past week. 

Crowds littered the grass outside the restaurant, sipping on bubbles and local wines and feasting on a delicious three course meal from Kim Currie as the sounds of David Bowie, Crosby, Still and Nash, The Beatles, and Aretha Franklin filled the air. 

1969 was a year synonymous with change and the beginning of a new era which lead to the creation of some of the most iconic songs in history, and guests on the night go to know about a little of that musical history as the band discussed each of the artists between each song. 

“They used to call acoustic songs wooden songs back in the sixties,” guitarist and singer Graham Parsons said. 

There were more than 100 people there on the night, all of whom enjoyed the three hours of music from band members Pat O’Donnell, Kellie O’Donnell, Graham Parsons, Kyle Manning, Ben Pettit and Bryce Stacker. 

Lowe Wines winemaker David Lowe was heard telling the band to “keep going, bop till we drop” when asked if the band should stop because it looked like it was going to rain.

“It’s just great, there are so many people here and the atmosphere is great,” Mr Lowe said.

While the rain did eventually fall, causing the musicians to run for the dry of The Zin House with their instruments in hand, the crowd didn’t allow the wet to dampen their spirits, instead keeping the Woodstock vibe going well into the night.
