Gig – Sun 19 May 5pm Semaphore

Hi friends of The TinMen, lovers of original music, dancing, and good times. Put the date in your diary – Sunday 19th May 5 pm at The Semaphore Workers’ Club.

Come along as we play our latest musical offerings and some old favourites.

There has been quite a hiatus between gigs but we’re pleased to report our irrepressible drummer David Sly has been declared fit to play and will be belting out the beats and we’ll be doing our utmost to support his best efforts.

It’s only a week away and another TinMen will be added to the swelling ranks of the seniors in the world and will be a freshly minted 60 year old (the Senior’s Card is in the mail). Come along and wish me a happy birthday for Tuesday 14/5. It’ll be great to see you there and catch up with you all again.

Radio Airplay – Live!

That was fun on Tuesday speaking to Jason Chong filling in for Sonya Feldhoff on 891 ABC Radio Adelaide.

Live ramblings and a new song performed without a safety net: “Jump, Jump, Jump!”

You can hear the replay here:

It was a great opportunity to promote the Port Noarlunga Blues Festival this weekend – and you can hear the excitement in our voices opening the show on Friday night at 7 pm at Porties – The Port Noarlunga Surf Lifesaving Club followed by Oscar Ladell and The Night Owls and The Sexy Boys.

There’re so many acts it defies description – you have to look at the program on the PNBF website here. Most of them are free and they’re all indoors in one of the eighteen venues around Port Noarlunga.

The big nighttime shows are ticketed and are in one of the four major venues being used for the festival. Tickets are available here.

Chris Finnen is this year’s Festival curator and he’s done an amazing job and is playing in three of the acts on the program – and possibly he’ll make even more appearances.

We’d love there to be a great turnout and we are looking forward to playing some of our hottest original tracks and starting a red hot night on Friday.

For a taste of what we’re going to do we just played at The Semaphore Worker’s Club on Sunday afternoon last weekend and the unvarnished recording of our three set extravaganza is here on Bandcamp.

Live at Henley Surf Club

Hi friends, fans and followers. If you missed our last gig at the Henley Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Sat 19th August then be glum no longer. You can listen to it here.

It was a lot of fun and a lot of effort but well worth it – we enjoyed ourselves immensely and there’s some new original songs that got their first run and a few other originals that are firmly entrenched in our repertoire. So much so that some of us have occasionally forgotten that they are originals and assume that they’ve come from the pantheon of blues greats.

We look forward to getting back to Henley Surf Club in summer when we look forward to playing ion the boasted – stay tuned, spread the word, get your friends to subscribe to our email updates for more gig news here or share our Facebook page here.

Put our next gig in your diary now and head over to The Port Noarlunga Blues Festival for tickets – stay tuned they will be on sale very soon. We’re playing at 7:00 pm Friday November 24th at The Port Noarlunga Surf Club followed by The Night Owls and lastly The Sexy Boys – what a lineup!

Stay tuned for updates. Cheers.

TinMen website changing

Hi TinMen subscribers and readers.

Due to spam and streamlining the address for this website will change in the next week or so to thetinmen with a dot “au” suffix – i.e. dropping the dot com – we’re not a company after all we’re a band and Australian.

There will be another email when this change has happened so look out for that in the next little while.

In the meantime don’t forget you can stream us on Apple Music, Spotify, Bandcamp, and YouTube Music, Amazon Music, etc.

Cheers!

Tinnisms and Finnenisms

Fresh from the resort that is Palais de Sly comes a selection of our original tunes that feature the dulcet tones of the one and only Chris Finnen – doyen of the Australian blues scene and an Adelaide institution in his own right.

Please head over to our Bandcamp page here if you’d like to tickle your aural tonsils with the delights that resulted from the pairing of The TinMen and The Right Honourable Chris Finnen (see below).

If that link doesn’t work try this one.

Don’t forget to subscribe here for regular updates by email. See you soon. Cheers.
