With a combination of social observation, hilarious anecdotes and acoustic songs, Doyle has endeared herself to the Australian public through performances and appearances on the MIKE WALSH SHOW, MIDDAY WITH RAY MARTIN and the MIDDAY WITH KERRI-ANNE KENNERLY. VAN MAN: HE captured notoriety, as well as attention, when he busked in the rain on the roof of his Holden panel van at the TAMWORTH COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL in 1993, but COL FINLEY is no fool. Seven years after the fact, Finley's stunt is paying dividends. Performing on Friday, November 3, at the Cardiff Workers Club, Finley has been invited to support the likes of TROY CASSAR-DALEY, LEE KERNAGHAN and has performed at premier country music festivals such as the TOYOTA GYMPIE COUNTRY MUSTER and the EMERALD COUNTRY MUSIC SPECTACULAR.
