🎶 Sunday Sounds with Richard Ings
This Sunday 27 September | 10am–12pm | Lounge Bar

Many of you have enjoyed Graham’s music at Sunday Sounds over the years. While he’s stepping back from Sundays, you can still catch him at Seniors Morning Tea every second Tuesday. 💙

This Sunday, we’re welcoming Canberra singer-songwriter Richard Ings () to the Lounge Bar. He’ll be playing easy-listening favourites and upbeat classics, with plenty of dancing and singing to be had!

Come along, say hello to Richard and enjoy a Sunday morning of live music with us. 🤩
