The Urban Chiefs is a Psyche–Blues–Rock two-piece from Tamworth, NSW, who have been tearing up stages since 2009. Blake Saban (guitars and vox) runs an arsenal of custom guitars through multiple amps and a bass rig, building a sound so massive it shakes the floor. His gravel-soaked vocals cut through the chaos while Glendon Finlay’s tribal, hard-hitting drumcussion drives it all like a freight train.

Come along and see a spectacular array of gems, rocks, crystals, jewellery, crafts, beads and lapidary equipment and much more! All on sale at the show. You'll find a gift for that special someone in your life! Raffle tickets $1.00 each with great prizes. Kids activities include a treasure hunt, face-painting and fossicking for gems.
