Three months after winning an ARIA award for country album of the year, Australian country music artist Fanny Lumsden has taken home five Golden Guitar awards.
Key points:
Fanny Lumsden was the night s big winner, taking home five awards
The Roll of Renown Award went to The Bushwackers, who are celebrating 50 years together
The 49th Country Music Association of Australia awards were held in Tamworth on Saturday night despite the cancellation of the Tamworth Country Music Festival due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and restrictions.
If the late Slim Dusty, immortalised in a statue with wife Joy McKean on Tamworth s main street, recoiled at the thought of a pub with no beer, he d surely have been horrified at a country music capital devoid of its annual marquee festival.
Australia s undisputed country music capital this January is feeling not only lonesome and morbid but decidedly drear with the cancellation of the 49th Tamworth Country Music Festival.
It was due to have been held from January 14 to 23 but has been cancelled because of COVID-19 risks and the withdrawal of key sponsors such as Toyota (which sells the odd Kelpie-friendly ute to the event s traditional devotees).
Hospitals in virus hotspots are now treating up to three times as many Covid-19 patients as they did at the peak of the first wave.
Experts said that we are seeing the start of a third wave as hospital bosses warned of further mass cancellations of routine operations and appointments.
Latest Department of Health figures show there are now 18,469 patients in hospital with the virus, the highest total since mid-April.
And yesterday 28,507 new cases were recorded, the highest ever aside from Thursday when an IT glitch lead to a missing 11,000 positive results in Wales being added to the system.
Around one in five NHS Trusts are busier with Covid-19 than they were at any point in April and May, analysis shows.
