With a stunning line-up of Finalists for 2004 which seems to gain
momentum with each year,
Galston Rotary Club have chosen as Grand Finalists
the following Artists
**
MEGAN CARSWELL

Finalists for this year were Tom Maxwell, Jeanette Wormald, Faith
Julija, Tom Curtain, Martin Oakes, Peter Pratt,
The Davidson Bros,
Megan Carswell, The Coad Sisters, Anita Ree, Rob Wilson and Johanna
Hemara.
**
This decision took a
number of weeks of intense deliberation on the part of Galston
Rotary, as the Finalists were so diverse in their composition,
it made a final decision a very hard task indeed.
**
The GALSTON COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL is delighted to
announce that JUDY STONE, who started her career as a Country
Artist here in Australia, has agreed to present this year's Special
Award to the Winner and Runners-up.

All three Grand Finalists, will come to Sydney on September twelve
2004 to perform at Fagan Park, Galston, to compete for $5,000
worth of prizes with include, Cash, a Certificate of Excellence,
Recording Time, Publicity for the next twelve months and an invitation
to come back to the Festival held in 2005 as a Special Guest Artist
to perform. A further prize just announced, will be an overseas

and the Rotary Club of Galston.

King, Dave Debs, Colin Greatorix and Tracey Faith.

MARK TEMPANY will return this year as an Invited Guest to
perform at the Festival in September, which was part of his win
in 2003. Festival Organisers would like to congratulate ALL
FINALISTS chosen Australia wide by four Industry "Spotters"
