Tamworth Country Music Festival crowns new Star Maker

Wade Forster discusses his win as this year’s Star Maker at the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Thousands packed out the 10-day country music event which is the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere. “When I heard my name read as the winner I dropped to my knees – I couldn’t believe it,” Mr Forster told Sky News Australia. He said he only began learning guitar via YouTube six years ago. “I didn’t know I could sing about until four or five years ago either and from there I just kept trying hard and working hard and seeing where it would take me.”
