Country on the Coast for us was a friendly and relaxed event, like an afternoon with friends enjoying great music and artists; without the hassle of a big venue, queues for drinks & food, finding a seat. We are not regular country followers but enjoy different genres and Country on the Coast opened our eyes to the range of styles that the various artists performed.
