AND THE WINNER IS….THE WIDE HORIZON

on October 24, 2017. Posted in General News, Peace Train, Press & Media

Darren Coggan dominated the recent Australian Independent Country Music Awards taking home three coveted awards for his new album ‘The Wide Horizon’. Darren was awarded ‘Single Of The Year’, ‘Male Vocalist Of The Year’ and the big one, ‘Album Of The Year’.

Unfortunately Darren was unable to be at the awards presentation as he was touring the UK with his critically acclaimed tribute to Cat Stevens, Peace Train. Accepting the awards on his behalf were his Mum & Dad, Kaye & John Coggan, who proudly acknowledged the fellow nominees, the festival committee and spoke of how thrilled Darren will be to receive the news of this acknowledgement for his new album.
