Reviews
"One of the finds of the event for both of us here at Listening Through the Lens. Sydney based, Willing Ponies fronted by songwriter Ricky Pann who played a unique brand of material, original, terrific material, written with sincerity and a keen eye. Hand over some well-developed songs to their author to sing with a troupe of great pickers in support and you have a winning combination."
