All part of your Fan Fair
Experience in Nashville in June each year.
Our previous tours
have been overwhelming successes and we do our best to ensure this year will be no
exception. Over the years we’ve been able to meet the top stars of Today and
Yesterday’s Music. We've had Moe Bandy get on board our coach
just to welcome us to his show. Over the years our crew have met everyone from Garth
Brooks to Brooks & Dunn, had photos with Boxcar
Willie at his theatre and with Brenda Lee guesting at Mel
Tillis’ in Branson. Engaged in a chat with Pam Tillis, met Alan
Jackson and Vince Gill backstage at the Opry, been entertained
in the lobby of the Opryland Hotel by Troy Cassar-Daley and toured the
American Backroads with Tania Kernaghan
Getting there is half the fun...
that's quite apart from fun on the road with our
Nashville mates, Miss Bill and Pat the Driver...
Along the way we have traditionally included the following favourite stops ...
Lynchburg
Jack Daniel's Distillery just a couple of hours south of Nashville, has been a favourite with travellers on the tour ever since we added it in 1995. Sammy & the boys always give an entertaining tour and usually join us on the hilltop at sunset for our Private party. It’s a scenic neck of the woods, just as you see it in those TV commercials, green and leafy, slow and deliberate, and the little town of Lynchburg (where you can get Jack Daniels ice-cream) is right out of the picture books.
Memphis
Graceland is just as Elvis left it in 1977. The Jungle
room, the handball court, and the Record Room with hundreds of Gold and Platinum Albums on
the walls. Elvis’ grave is there right alongside his whole family. The Platinum tour
of the Mansion, the Plane and Car Museum is all included in the tour when we're in
Memphis.
As the birthplace of the Blues, Memphis is always filled with music and always a lot of fun. Stroll Beale St at night and take in all the sounds of another Music city. Visit B B King's Restaurant or the Elvis Presley Cafe. See the Sun Studio's where all those hits of the 50's were recorded. Check out the incredible Peabody Hotel. We stay just a block or two from Beale Street.
Dollywood
It’s always a great bunch of people who travel with us, and although we come from all sorts of backgrounds from Council workers and students to Bank Managers and International businessmen, and all age groups from 17 to 70, we’re all there for the music, and all determined to have a great time. Call us on 07 3221 3000 anytime if you have any query about the tour, we’re happy to help you.
Travel with the folks who know Country Music and know Nashville!
