WAMFest Focus: Ralway Bell

Answered by: Ben Wilson — singer, guitarist

Give us a short description of your music: Alt-country tunes with rich guitar tones and smooth pedal steel licks that will have you pining nostalgically for simpler times!

What is the best thing that's happened to you/your band so far? Winning WA Country Music Awards 2016 Group Of The Year.

Has the party side of the music industry been all you were hoping for so far in your career? I think most of the the band had more than their fair share of partying in the music industry before they joined Ralway Bell! (Nigel, Jason, Jeremy... I'm looking at you!)

What industry lessons would you like to take away from WAMFest? How to maximise any potential opportunities which may be on offer... And how to get your gear home safely after a gig so you can stay out late and have a loose night! 

What acts are you looking forward to checking out at WAMFest? The Jaycos, The Jackson Roses, The Fortunados, Pete Byfield, Lucy Peach, Odette Mercy & Her Soul Atomics, Salary, and Wayward Johnson!

Why should people come and see you from amongst the many cool bands at WAMFest? For the hat! Come see the hat! Also, if people enjoy alt-country/Americana/twang genres then they definitely need to get along to The Basso on Friday night!

When and where is your WAMFest gig? 4 Nov, Bassendean Hotel
