Chance to Hear Lyn

COUNTRY music broadcaster NICK ERBY experienced the LYN BOWTELL phenomenon at the 1998 TAMWORTH COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL. 'I was mid-way through a conversation when the hairs suddenly stood up on the back of my neck,' he said.

He was talking about the first time he ever heard a performance by the former TOYOTA STARMAKER winner, while singing her own song A BROKEN WING. This Sunday Newcastle audiences will have the opportunity to experience the same sensational voice when Lyn Bowtell and her band SOUTHERN STEEL performs at Phoenix.

Over the past 18 months the group has established itself as a major attraction at festivals such as Tamworth, Mildura and the Gympie Muster.

At this year's Tamworth 2000 Country Music Festival Bowtell launched her ACMEC label debut album HEARTS IN THE COUNTRY. TE
