<p>Thank you so much for respecting our privacy and for your understanding on our recent performance cancellations at Airlie Beach Festival and the “Cruisin’ Country Supercruise”. It’s now time to spill the beans as unfortunately there are more show cancellations coming your way </p>
<p>Our Hervey Bay Doctors discovered a sizeable brain aneurysm whilst scanning for a suspected stroke at the end of October and immediately issued a “Stop Work Order” to minimise rupture. We have been through several appointments and scans and the cerebral angiogram has given the docs a clearer perspective which has essentially culminated in more upcoming appointments and more time off work for the both of us, and hopefully an operation sooner than later. This morning we have been advised that he is still not cleared to perform any cardio whatsoever … “You mean keep Goat Boy STILL for another 3 months!!?!! – the greatest challenge ever!!!”, said She! </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/114127/a432030d4310d6b042332da4cf531966f555d67a/original/your-paragraph-text.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>So sadly, that means you won’t be seeing us onstage until April. Please accept our sincere apologies for this. All venues have been advised and have the capacity to refund your tickets to you and will start this process as soon as possible. As for us, it’s hit pretty hard when all of our income is in the 1 basket, so we’ve put all of our Merch ‘ON SALE’ on our website to help us through this rough patch. If you’ve been thinking of buying a CD, T-shirt, Tea Towel or anything GOAT – even a bumper sticker, then we’d really very much appreciate your support right now more than ever. We don’t need sympathy or 1000 conversations, but a few web sales would definitely be welcomed And don’t forget that The GAS is on at our place in April and we will be showering you with more Promo for that one soon so that we can make it a “SELLOUT” to make ends meet. <a contents="https://frasercoasttickets.com.au/event/16756" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://frasercoasttickets.com.au/event/16756">https://frasercoasttickets.com.au/event/16756</a> </p>

<p>Kick Yer Shoes Off, Put Yer Hoe Down and Hang on to Yer Britches!!! The Hillbilly Goats are BACK at the 2023 Country Music Festival for 1 show only! </p>
<p>Golden Fiddle Winners, 4 time "Bluegrass" Golden Guitar Finalists and recently voted amongst Australia's Top Folk Bands 2 years running in the Folk Alliance Awards, the Hillbilly Goats are a "SHOW" unlike no other!!! </p>
<p>These guys are not your average band, rather the most passionate advocates for keeping "Old Time Mountain Music" alive through stories and songs dating back to the Scotch Irish Immigrants of the 1600's. </p>
<p>The musical twist on traditional songs The Hillbilly Goats are renowned for with big harmonies, tap dancing, bones, banjo and a heavy presence of hard fiddle and fast harmonica have seen them carving their own niche at major festivals at home and abroad .... and here they are returning to Tamworth for 1 show only in the air conditioned BLAZES SHOWROOM at Wests. </p>
<p>DO NOT MISS OUT on the most colourful, vibrant, talked about show of the festival! These Goats will take you back on a musical journey through the centuries that will leave you enlightened, educated and fulfilled! </p>

<p><span class="font_large">This one's a little more OLD FASHIONED - Same acoustic vibe, same entertainment factor, no specific genre except it's all anti-modern music of yesteryear. Think Honky Tonk, think Finger Pickin' Blues, think "real" Country, think Vaudeville, think Street Performers, Bluegrass, Folk, Dixie, Jazz and One Man Band type of acts - THINK GOOD OLE FASHIONED ENTERTAINMENT! That's what we're talkin' about!!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">It is with much sadness that we are writing this statement after days of uncertainties and deliberation with the outbreak of COVID-19, but we feel it is our duty to respect the health and safety of our Artists, Volunteers, Stallholders, Locals, Families, Friends, Fans and everyone involved in the “Old Fashioned Music Weekend” at the GAS. We are now proceeding to postpone this event until September 2020. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We have spent this week communicating with our artists and involved parties, and we have also had extensive conversation with our local health and environmental officer from Fraser Coast Council. Whilst the event is still viable, it is apparent that we are making the best decision as swiftly as possible with everybody’s best interest in mind. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We feel for everyone at this time as this unprecedented situation is affecting us all in different ways and we hope that our decision can aid in the arrested development of this virus. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We would like our ticket holders to consider transferring their tickets to a future event (either Sep 25-27, 2020 … or April 9-11 2021). As you are aware it is important that we carry on our continued support for each other and Australian Industry in general and we will be transferring our cancelled artists forward to future events. We need to “Keep the Music Alive” and hope that we as a country can get back on track as soon and safely as possible. Our thoughts are also with our local Rural Fire Brigade as the GAS has become a fundraising event after once again, a devastating bushfire season. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We thank you for your understanding and we are aware that everybody’s situation differs. Should you request a refund on your tickets we are more than happy to do so in light of the unfolding pandemic. We of course are inundated with messages and we will address your messages individually as we work through this. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Stay safe, take care and we hope to see you at the GAS soon. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Lots of love, </span></p>

<p><span class="font_regular">The Cumberland Gap was a highly traveled mountain pass in the late 1700’s by migrants heading west and the Union and Confederate armies battled for a year to take control of the gap during the Civil War. It became a popular folk song in the 1800’s. We upped the tempo of the song to create a feeling of movement through the mountain. Being the opening track off our 3rd studio release, Down Foggy Mountain, it sets a feel and opens a space for the rest of the album.</span><span class="font_large"> <br><br>Hope you ENJOY OUR FILM CLIP!!!</span></p><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/114127/de2eb4204ff5d6d342b5b089fda25b9e688d71a0/original/copy-of-cumberland-gap.jpg?1473900823" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Hillbilly Goatstag:hillbillygoats.com.au,2005:Post/42796512016-07-15T13:02:52+10:002024-02-20T21:14:53+10:00Kick Yer Shoes Off!!!<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/114127/952f90b347e640dc698efe0a740faf8dc5762f9e/original/aug16.jpg?1468551708" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Hillbilly Goatstag:hillbillygoats.com.au,2005:Post/42148922016-06-06T14:45:07+10:002021-05-07T18:22:49+10:00GOLD COAST - we're coming at ya!<a contents="" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.broadbeach%20country.com" target="_blank"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/114127/f91ce1029b4915c826619c471a76340297c7e414/original/country-2016-a3-poster-version-4-printmaster1.jpg?1465188266" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></a>Hillbilly Goatstag:hillbillygoats.com.au,2005:Post/41973622016-05-26T13:10:32+10:002021-04-19T19:26:15+10:00It's a LONG WAY to the TOP!<p>Yeeeeeeeeeha!
