WOODBRIDGE FESTIVAL 2022 10th anniversary

Ben Osborne has been the driving force behind the Woodbridge Music & Arts Festival, a community-run event that showcases ambitious, diverse and quality International line-ups, encouraging local talent and allowing emerging artists to share a platform with established national and international acts.
