Aaron Laguda believes the Winter Busking Sessions at the Wyndham Cultural Centre create a warm atmosphere and put a smile on people’s faces.

The proud Werribee local said his favourite moments when performing are when he can “really connect” with an audience.

“Bringing live music to Watton Street and beyond has been fantastic for the community, so often people will come up and explain how lovely it is to hear people singing,” Mr Laguda said.

“Music has a special magic that really can draw people together. It brings back memories for people and it it makes us feel emotions.

“It’s very apparent while I busk, you can really change the vibe of the street with some live music,” he said.

Until September, every Friday from 12pm til 2pm, live music will fill the new open space at the front of the cultural centre.

A full list of performers can be found online.
