Great weather, great acts, great Muster!  Country music fans were in heaven at the National Country Music Muster which is held every year at Amamoor near Gympie.  If Country is not your music style,  amazing  acts  such as Pete Murray, Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss along with a dash of comedy with Tripod and others,  added some variety to this music festival.

One musician who would probably rank this music festival as one of his favourites is Country Music musician, Troy Cassar-Daley.  “You will love the Gympie Muster,” Troy says.

Troy tells how rock musician Jimmy Barnes loves country music and how he easily persuaded Jimmy to record a duet with him, Johnny Cash’s record 'Bird On a Wire', after their first meeting.

“I felt pretty chuffed to think Jimmy knew who I was let alone record a song with me.   I met Jimmy at The Gympie muster a few years ago”.

So it was not a surprise that Troy joined Jimmy’s performance at the Muster as a bonus surprise guest appearance.
