UWA Guitar Studio

Tonight we performed the final concert of our South West tour to an enthusiastic audience in the beautiful acoustic of St Mary's Anglican Church Busselton - a fantastic way to close out the tour.

Such a joy to lead a workshop at Margaret River Senior High School for nearly 50 keen guitar students from across the South West, coming together to end the day with a performance for students, parents and teachers.

Tomorrow we’re on to Busselton for the final concert of our tour! Tickets available at www.trybooking.com/CRWQL

Fantastic to play a sold-out concert to a wonderful audience in Margaret River on the first day of our South West tour!

We’re so excited to embark on our 6th annual concert tour of WA’s beautiful South West presenting concerts in Margaret River, Busselton, and a full-day workshop for guitar students at Margaret River Senior High School.

If you’re in the South West region we’d love to see you at one of our concerts!
