ANBC Sponsorship 2019

Would you like to be a sponsor for the Australian National Busking Championships in Cooma this year? We have sponsorship packages from $60 to $3,000. Or we can tailor a package to suit your needs.

It’s been a very exciting year. We now have seven regional ANBC Championships for 2019 around Australia. Stanthorpe & Noosa in Qld, Kilmore in Vic, and Peak Hill, Narooma, Gundagai and Cooma in NSW.
This year, we have also seen many of our ANBC buskers going from strength to strength. Vendulka appeared again on national TV on The Voice.  She has also just released a fantastic new video, Good Words, which features our beautiful South East scenery. Oscar Litchfield, Lucy Sugerman, Yasmin Russell, Jack Biillmann, Andrew Wortes, Flynn Gurry, Kesha Oayda, Rory Phillips, Haystack Mountain Hermits, The String Family, Narooma Rhythm Hunters, Stitch, Fretz & Reedz, Niq Reefman, Felicity Kircher, Fvceless and many more are getting regular gigs and performing in festivals both locally and away.

One of our ANBC Noosa Buskers, Tones And I, has actually had a huge breakthrough with her new single Dance Monkey which is now number one on the Aria Charts. (The first Australian artist to achieve that this year and the first Australian female artist to make number one since Delta Goodrem did it in 2015).
It’s all good news and we couldn’t do it without the amazing generosity of our sponsors.
So Thank You!

Tones And I – Number One

Congratulations to Tones And I!

From ANBC Busker to Number One in the Aria Charts!
Tones And I, aka Toni Watson, performed at the ANBC Noosa Busking Championships in 2018. There she was noticed by Oz Bayldon, the director of Noosa Come together and the Gympie Music Muster. Oz predicted a huge future for this new talent and he invited her to perform at the Gympie Music Muster. She was then discovered by triple j Unearthed and the rest, as they say, is history.

Fun fact – the last Australian female to do this was Delta Goodrem in 2015.
