I should have believed history but the ticketing page by misled me. Semaphore Workers Club doors open at 7:30 pm The TinMen take to The Red Stage at 9:00 pm.
Sorry for the confusion – please pass the corrected time on to others and we hope to see you there.
Tickets $15 at the door or here. Cheers
We’re back on The Red Stage at The Semaphore Workers Club for three fun filled hours from 8:00 pm Friday November 18th and it’s nearly the end of 2022 so what better way to get ready for the impending festive season than to be part of the celebrations.
With some revamped originals and classic blues tunes the dance floor will be the place to be.
The folks at ARBA continue to fill Adelaide’s classic music venues with top notch bands and musicians and we’re chuffed to be able to be a part of that.
We love playing TSWC and we hope to see you there. Tickets at the door or pre-purchase from ARBA here.
Doors open 7:30 pm The TinMen take to the stage at 8:00 pm. The TinMen’s event is here.
Despite The TinMen not snaring the win and sadly not travelling to Memphis in 2023 if you’d like to support ARBA in funding the trip for the first place winners – The Honey Badgers and Frankie and Savva – there is a star studded gig tonight at The Semaphore Workers Club from 7:30 pm.
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.
You can buy tickets here or at the door.
Don’t forget The TinMen are playing at The Semaphore Workers Club in 4 weeks on Friday November 18th at 7:30 pm.
It should be a fun night – we hope to see you there.
Get your diaries out and pre-purchase your tickets to The TinMen’s Friday night blues extravaganza here.
It’s such a privilege to be playing on The Red Stage at the Semaphore Worker’s Club again – we are truly excited to be able to get together in front of such an appreciative crowd and in such a supportive venue and we hope you can make it to ensure we all have a blast.
Get along to 93 Esplanade, Semaphore, SA 5019 Friday 18 November 7:30 pm and enjoy the reasonably priced drinks and the fabulous dance floor for a night of fun original and classic blues music and funky dance tunes.

In other news the previously announced gig at The Murray Delta Juke Joint has fallen through so don’t go if you were expecting us to be playing there on December 9th. Hopefully we can be rescheduled but that’s in the hands of the MDJJ.
Great gig last night at The Sempaphore Workers Club. Thank you to the people at the SWC and ARBA for organising it, to everyone who came and had a good time.
If you missed it or you are curious this is a recording of the gig 3 x 45 min sets. One for the true believers I know…
And the link in case… here
We’re looking forward to playing the Murray Delta Juke Joint 4 Dowdodd Cres, Goolwa SA 5214 – with special guests The Love Mussels Dec 9th 2022.
Before then we’re playing Tues Weds Thurs 2-4pm The Kingsway stage at the Royal Adelaide Show – not far from the pig racing, wood chopping, dog and poultry judging and the CWA cafe. The Vegas of the South indeed!
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.
And don’t forget you can subscribe to our mailing list and get an email when we post an update or find us on Facebook.
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.
Sat 27th August. That’s the date for the Memphis Blues Challenge Final. It’s The TinMen vs The Honey Badgers. Winner takes all and flies to Memphis Tennessee in January 2023 to compete again on Beale Street.
We’d love a great crowd of our friends to come and see us pour our heart and soul into our performance. You can get tickets here: Memphis Blues Challenge Tickets. Click that. Please….
Details are 27/8/22 Norwood Live, 97 The Parade Norwood (The Norwood Hotel enter from Osmond Terrace). Doors open at 6:30pm.
We wish The Chris Finnen Band all the best and are sorry they have pulled out of the final but all the other acts are of a great standard.
It’ll be a great night but… Who will win?
Due to our immense flexibility and COVID affecting the Chris Finnen Band we are stepping in to play from 5:00pm till 7:45pm Sunday 31st July.
Late notice I know but we’re very much looking forward to it and we’d love to see you there.
Next we play the Memphis Blues Challenge final at The Norwood Hotel on August 27th for a chance to peddle our idiosyncratic original blues wares in Memphis.
If there are tickets left you can find them here: https://arba.net.au
If you’d like to hear the performance and whet your whistle for the final have a listen to The TinMen on Soundcloud here.
You can listen to an old live recording on Bandcamp here to hear how we have progressed since 2021 and even purchase it to support us.

We can’t wait for the final. It should be a hoot!
