IT'S been a while between red carpets.
Country music artists spared no glitz and absolutely brought the glamour to the 2022 Golden Guitar Awards at the 50th Tamworth Country Music Festival.
The Leader was live on the red carpet to capture the stars, award-nominees and festival fashion ahead of what's expected to be a truly electric night.
The excitement was palpable as stars walked the red carpet for the first fully-fledged awards ceremony in two years, hosted by the always hilarious Beccy Cole and country legend Adam Harvey.
Presented by Tamworth Regional Council and the Country Music Association of Australia, the awards will recognise recordings released between October 1, 2020 and September 30, 2021.
With the theme, 'Then. Now. Forever. Australian Country,' the awards celebrate trailblazers and industry icons who have battled through an incredibly tough couple of years.
