LIVE MUSIC

Woodland wanderers

Woodland Wanderers are a four piece amateur ensemble who enjoy playing light and easy classics for a wide audience. Hailing from Gunning, Dalton and Queanbeyan, the Woodland Wanderers blend guitars with clarinet, drums and mandolin for a folksy take on tunes from the sixties to the present day.


As well as performing on their own, the Woodland Wanderers will be accompanied, following the Music Makers arts activity, by Music Makers participants using their newly created musical instruments. 

Come and enjoy community music-making at its very best.
