NEXT SATURDAY 4:30pm! Do you know a young person who loves music, needs a creative outlet, or could benefit from a safe and supportive space to express themselves?

Whether they’re experienced musicians or simply curious about expressing themselves through music, this workshop is open to all levels and abilities.

Why it matters:
Creative expression is a proven tool to support emotional wellbeing, resilience, and personal growth. This program is a great opportunity for young people to discover the healing power of music in a guided, encouraging environment.

If you’re a parent, teacher, youth worker, or support professional, please share this with the young people in your life – it could make a real difference.

Join like-minded young people (12-25 years) for Songwriting For Wellbeing sessions at Gunnedah Conservatorium!

Whether you have a song that you are currently working on that could use some guidance, or looking to write a song from scratch, Songwriting for Wellbeing monthly meetup offers a supportive space to do it!

Mentor: Sewa Emojong
(Recording Artist: E.S Malaika)

MOVING IS HARD; meeting people doesn’t have to be 🎶

Find your people. Find your voice. Find your community. 💙

Moving to a new town can feel like starting over, but finding your people can make Gunnedah feel like home.

Come along to the Blenders Choir! No auditions, no experience needed, just a love of music and a willingness to have a sing. 🎵

Arts North West is a fabulous network to partner with … a great way to bring music and small touring to the North West, especially to special venues and smaller communities.

And that’s a wrap… roughly 1200km, 4 shows and (from what we’ve been told) about 400 punters who damn near cleaned us out of merch. Arts NW are an amazing mob, and the communities who rallied behind these shows are amazing people. Can’t wait to do it all again - with a healthier crew next time! Can’t bloody wait!!

Hailing from South East Queensland, the four-piece ensemble combines melodic clawhammer banjo, rolling upright bass, acoustic guitar and touches of riverboat keys.

Having performed at festivals including the Gympie Music Muster and Tamworth Country Music Festival, Rusty Pickups are known for their fine musicianship, infectious energy and welcoming stage presence.

Bring a chair and settle in for a relaxed afternoon of live music, with a BBQ and bar available onsite.
