Nolans – Chris Nolan, Jack and Mary Nolan
Rating: +0
Salt of the earth. Best people you could possibly meet.
The Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre is located mostly on the Nolan farm. Chris Nolan founded the Meredith Music Festival with Marcus Downie and Greg Peele back in 1991. Actually they founded it in 1990 but didn't get it together to put the thing on until '91.
Jack and Mary are Chris' parents and remarkably they agreed to have the festival - which in the first year was just an end-of-year party for Chris and his friends - at their property, near the family home, on the farm. What good parents!! And here we are, a couple of decades later and it's still going and they are still happy to host the now world-renowned festival. Cripes.
Jack's grandfather planted the giant Cypress pine trees that crown the Amphitheatre. He planted them about 60 years ago as " a place for the birds to be when I'm gone". Not sure what ol' grandfather Nolan would make of the sights and sounds below them trees these days but quite possibly he'd approve.
