MIRI: Die-hard country music fans coming for the 3rd edition of the Miri Country Music Festival (MCMF) held on Saturday night were full of praise for the organisers which had included many events including for charity.

Apart from the music concert, other activities held were music workshop, line dance session and bazaar including selling of handicrafts by the Helping Hands for the Penan Education Scheme.

“The festival was fantastic, not only did we enjoyed the country music, we also helped for a good cause buying baskets made by the Penans,” said Jenny Ho, an entrepreneur from Miri when met at the festival.

Evergreen deejay of Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) Kuching Jennifer Lau concurred with Ho adding, “I am a great Country Music fan and having a Country and Western Classic show in my segment gives me the privilege to air the music I love.”

“The festival is getting better by the year and has seen a tremendous following of fans in this part of the region and Sarawakians love country music.”

The festival is one of three major music festivals held annually in metropolitan Miri City of over 300,000 people.

The other two are Asia Music Festival and the Borneo Jazz Festival.
