In 1993, a very nervous Beccy Cole stepped onto the Tamworth townhall stage for the first time, she had just turned 20. Having been chosen as a top 20 finalist of the prestigious Star Maker competition, Beccy performed 2 songs; Slim Dusty’s ‘Bushland Boogie’ and Reba McEntire’s ‘Just A Little Love.’

When it was announced that Beccy’s performance had landed her a top 10 position, she was overwhelmed by fear and nerves and announced to her ‘crew’ that she would not be returning for the grand final. Three times Golden Guitar winner, Deniese Morrison had been mentoring Beccy and had encouraged the entry into Star Maker. Deniese administered the reverse psychology method and told a quivering Beccy that she could absolutely pull out of the grand final, if she could live with never knowing what one more Tamworth townhall performance might have brought. Beccy’s performance brought the audience in the newly air-conditioned venue to its feet and she was crowned Star Maker, 1993.

For over 30 years, Beccy Cole has been delighting Australian music fans with her unique brand of true entertainment. The South Australian star’s glowing warmth, husky tones, bawdy sense of humour and hundred-watt smile have helped make Beccy one of the nation’s best-loved and most celebrated artists.
