Lamington-lover Old Man Luedecke (CAN) and superb folk musician and visual artist Nicole Murray (AUS) are headed west in October for our final Halls tour of the year. It’s all red dust and roos when we kick off in Cameby on 5 October before heading to Winton, and then rainforest and ridgy-didge good times when we hit our last shows closer to the coast at the end of the month in the Gold and Sunshine Coast Hinterlands.  

Featuring a record number of workshops and visiting locations old and new (can’t wait to visit the Aramac school!), this will be our 51st tour since we started in 2013. Please have a look at the itinerary below, get along to a show if you can, and tell your friends! These tours are some of our most favourite Woodfordian endeavours, and touring close to home is always special.  

“I feel so privileged to be taking my fistful of instruments out into country Queensland to connect with each other through shows and workshops. I’ve worked on the Small Halls shows in my local area and there is always a huge buzz in the community when the show rolls into town! Often there will even be a big shared meal, barbeque, or cake spread to make the night special. It really is a night to remember.” Nicole Murray
