War Stories starring Darren Coggin at Burnie Arts & Function Centre

“Darren Coggan has always had a knack of telling a fascinating and perceptive story in his songs and with ‘War Stories’ he’s exceeded all his previous efforts. Darren has crafted and performed with great understanding, a swag of stories about Australians at war.”
Susan Jarvis - Country Music Capital News

Inspired by his own family history, performer Darren Coggan connects us to an iconic part of our heritage. Personal and exceptional stories of Australians at war are woven into songs that provide an intimate perspective of the tales that have helped shape our nation. War Stories takes you on an insightful journey into the lives of the Australians behind the lines. We reminisce about the generation of women who stayed at home and kept the country running. We celebrate the mateship, humour and courage in the Gallipoli trenches. And we honour our Indigenous diggers, a story rarely told.
