75th Tamworth Eisteddfod kicks off music section

The stage at the Tamworth Town Hall is a hive of activity, with performances in a range of categories including soloists, duets, rock music, and classical.

Calrossy Anglican School student Annabel Scott said the eisteddfod is a great way to meet other like-minded performers.

"It's so fun getting together with a bunch of music people," she said.

"Playing in various ensemble gives you experience if you want to play in bigger or professional ensembles.

"Also, we may have the chance to jam with some of the other musicians."
