Tamworth Rage Pages
receives ACRA
Industry Award 2005
Helen Mitchell
The experience will be the highlight of your day. Helen maintains these extensive pages and works to promote artists and events across the continent. Her pages are the leading Australian Internet Country pages and there is nothing anywhere in the world to match her efforts to reach out and lend a hand to singer or to a patron. Recently for the Hexham Tamworth on Parade Weekend she covered the events in her usual professional manner.

I enjoy receiving mail from “News” readers who connect with Helen’s pages. Many say that she is the hero of all concerned with the industry.
This is why the decision was a straightforward one for judges when it came to selecting the 2005 Recipient of The ACRA Industry Award. Corporate Australia sees to it that it’s stable of country stars receive overall cover in the media. Well, for these and all artists Helen has an open door. You will see her at shows and festivals, camera in hand and a smile in the other!

Helen says "Thank you very much ACRA"!!!!
 
STOP PRESS:
Craig Giles and Tom Maxwell
tie for National ACRA Award
            
Australian Traditional Balladeer Tom Maxwell                     Power packed performer Craig Giles

Two of the nation’s most popular entertainers, Tom Maxwell and Craig Giles have ended up toe to toe in The ACRAS 2005. (The Australian Country Recording Awards)
In the section, Australian Artists on Tour Award they ended even on points when all scores were tallied.
The two artists are among the most traveled and most popular in the country music genre. It was an easy decision to accept the dead heat for what it is, an acknowledgement of both as diligent achievers in the filed.
The presentation will be made as part of the 15th Annual Tamworth on Parade Spectacular at Goulburn Workers Club on Saturday night 22nd Oct.
