The Willie Wagtails are a bunch of old mates who play ocker jazz-folk music. They seek to make connections with Australian history, landscape and politics in their songwriting and their energetic, discordant music smells like the bush.

The Willies formed a few years ago after jamming under a grapevine at the CERES market in Melbourne. Since then they have been going from strength to strength and have performed at festivals like the Port Fairy Folk Festival, the Wangaratta Jazz Festival and the Tablelands Folk Festival in Cairns. Recently they've been lucky to play with some amazing artists like The Duhks and Jaron Freeman Fox from Canada.

"Full of fast-paced and infectiously catchy originals, and with a few fabulously re-worked covers in the mix, the Willie Wagtails tore up the stage, taking us through the New Year and beyond in a frenzy of the arms-and-legs flailing kind of fun that is all too rare these days. They will not disappoint!"
Peter Callender, Artistic Director, It's A Nice Place Festival
