POMEGRANATES AND PEPPERCORN TREES: The Lonely Horse Band

Pomegranates and Peppercorn Trees was an idea conceived at the 2006 Tamworth Country Music Festival by Andrew Hull, Tonchi McIntosh and Mick Daley. They quickly formed a loose collaboration intent on developing more original music relevant to the 'one horse towns' of Western New South wales. A few beers later and the Lonely Horse Band was formed. All three artists had an interest in the Nymagee Outback Music Festival, where Tonchi had been given a block of land, Daley's band The Re-Mains had been born, and a lot of goodwill was invested by all three. This community then become the focal point for the 'living memory' project, some funding was provided through the Country Arts Support Program and over three days the trio wrote the songs and poems for the album. The writing and recording process was captured by Andy Parks for ABC Radio, who commissioned a seven part radio series which went to air on Radio National and local radio prior to the 2006 festival.
