Golden Guitar winners Wendy Phypers and Dave Patterson return to Charlotte Plains with their signature country, western swing, and bluegrass on 13-26 May 2027 at the Bore Campsite.

With five studio albums under their belt, including their self-titled release recorded in Victoria and Nashville, The Cartwheels are known for Wendy’s incredible vocals and heartfelt originals.
