Beag’s Bar Friday 16th Dec 6pm

Hi friends, family and fans. The TinMen return to their CBD haunt, Beag’s Bar next door to Light ADL, optimistic that it’ll be a warm summer evening, ready to play a swag of our originals and to throw in some new songs as a pre-Christmas bonus gift.

The Aurora kitchen has fantastic food and the bar has a great range of beverages so make the most of it while you also indulge your aural and visual senses with our own brand of synaesthesia friendly offerings.

Put 6pm Friday 16th December in your diary and come along as 2022 draws to a close and get that well deserved vaccination of TinMen originals to help you face 2023 with the right perspective on the world.

In other news we had a great gig at The Semaphore Worker’s Club that went well past midnight, got people dancing most of the night, and with all the whooping and hollering was a lot of fun. Our thanks to SWC and the folk at The Adelaide Roots and Blues Association for supporting live and original music so strongly.

See you there! Cheers.

Tickets are $20 online or $25 at the door – all for a good cause.

The Semaphore Workers Club is a great venue and it should be a great night with special guests Jessie Dean, Chris Finnen, Nick Kipridis and Snooks La Vie.

No Memphis: Semaphore here we come!

What a night at The Memphis Blues Challenge at Norwood Live. We played our best and we went down well with the crowd, most of which had never seen us before.

Heads were bobbing. The judges were serious. The sound was good. We blistered some paint off the furnishings but to no avail.

The Honey Badgers were too slick, polished and professional. Their line up, with their three piece brass section and shredding guitar and vocal frontman, was more than a match for us and the result fairly reflected that.

They were deserving winners and so were Frankie and Savva winning their duo act section.

What we’ve taken away from it is how lucky we were to make it to the final and have that opportunity to play our songs in front of an appreciative crowd. It’s a great feeling to be part of a line up that was full of talent.

Thanks to all the folk at ARBA who make it happen. Thanks also to all our friends and family who came to see us on the night and to all the bands that took part and are part of the music scene here in Adelaide.

And if you want to catch us you can come along to the Semaphore Workers Club Sunday 4th September 5-8 pm and see what Memphis is missing out on.

Update: recording of the gig – recorded for archival purposes only – not a studio quality recording just for anyone interested.

Sold Out: Memphis Blues Challenge Final

The Memphis Blues Challenge Final is a sell out but Sunday 4th of September 5-8 pm at The Semaphore Workers’ Club can go in your diary instead.

We’ll be playing 3 x 45 minute sets and it’s a great venue that kicks on and supports live music week in and week out so it’s a blast to play there.

And if you’re a fan of The Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society Annual Show we’ll be playing from 2-4 pm Tues 6th September, Wednesday 7th September and Thursday 8th September at the Alley Stage (near the Country Women’s Association, the poultry pavilion and the dog pavilion). What’s not to love about that?

And if you’re into longer range plans we’re playing a double bill at The Murray Delta Juke Joint in Goolwa with The Love Mussels who are releasing their recently recorded album “The Love Mussels Save The World”. If you haven’t seen them and you can come along you’re in for a real treat.
