We all agree that Wally is an amazing musician and songwriter, but there is much more to admire about him. This page is dedicated to his contributions outside of and beyond his own musical creations. Read on to discover the heart within the man...

Aardvark Sessions 2011
Wally supports Aardvark Worldwide, a not-for-profit

organisation that gives opportunities for young people

with terminal illness or disability to write, record and

perform their own music. By mentoring and guiding

these young people, Wally has helped them express

themselves, gain confidence, skills and a sense of

achievement through music and collaboration. You can find out more and buy the album “Connected Lines”, which will help support this fantastic organisation by visiting their website and listen to what Wally has to say about the program.
