In this episode of LONGLINE we sit down with our series co-producer and intro/outro narrator Damien Williams to hear more about life on the road with the William’s family band.  Damien speaks about a childhood spent on the road and the yearly pilgrimage from Ntaria to Tamworth Country Music Festival in a beloved coaster bus, packed to the brim with family, instruments and sound equipment. The conversation touches on struggles with racism and backward attitudes in the early days of touring and the magical connections formed with other musicians, friends and collaborators on the road.



Thank you to Damien Williams for sharing his story with the LONGLINE team.
