ABOUT THE SHOW
Country/Folk/Roots band Willie and the Correspondents entertain with a delightful mix of original songs covering the struggles and strength of country town people, family ties, lost love, political posturing and times gone by.
Be prepared for an upbeat session that will make you sing, laugh and cry. No better way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
The Canberra Times said of their second album:
“Take Your Chances is a good album that ventures close to great the more you play it.”

I’m looking forward to performing at the Twyford having been born in Bega and spent many years at Merimbula, and now having a home there. I went to the pictures at the Hall in my youth and have fond memories of nights at the Twyford. – Band member Hugh Watson
