It was Norma's dream to hold a Festival on her property & invite everyone! Well I guess that worked out! This very talented Australian needs no introduction to many country music fans in Australia having won several Gold Guitars, plus many other accolades. Still writing & recording but live performances are rare! Bony Mountain is one place you can always see Norma (live) - NORMA IN AMONG THE ROSES-IN WARWICK MAIN STREET.
