For a highly successful nine year stretch Mark's "Concert In The Chapel" concert series
ran as an entirely Independent and self-constructed venue as part of the
Tamworth Australasian Country Music Festival each January.

Requiring Mark to import and install ALL staging and air conditioning from Interstate every year,
The Chapel quickly became one of the most sought after, and unique tickets in town!

With amazing acoustics and an atmosphere custom suited to Original music -
a full house was guaranteed and Mark is extremely proud of the legacy these shows left
for all new Original artists daring to take on the Tamworth machine.

Over the years Special Guests included Donna & Doug Boyd, Peter Pratt -
and for 2 seasons the magic of guitar virtuoso Michael Fix.

We note with satisfaction that The Chapel is again finding fame as a Festival venue -
Montgomery Church are due to perform there as part of Tamworth 2022!
