Sunday Afternoon Session December 8th

Hi friends, fans and followers (if you’d like to be a follower click this link subscribe and follow here).

Following Bock Around The Clock last month we’re having a repeat performance at The Semaphore Workers Club with the inimitable David Sly on the drum stool.

We’re playing on The Red Stage at the friend and fan friendly time slot from 5pm-8pm Sunday December 8th. Should be a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon: supporting live original music (and classic blues covers), live music venue and enjoying the music, the weather, the bar, the barbecue and the full size snooker tables.

Our last gig was October 25th at the same venue and you may know our drummer David Sly was unavailable and we had a hoot playing with his son Miles Sly.

Thanks Miles, it was a pleasure to play with you. Miles and Lucas Sly play in the SA Music Award winning – Most Popular Country Artist – Brad Chicken & The Bootstraps. Ironic country at it’s best, or most questionable…

To hear a live recording of that gig with Miles you can find it on BandCamp here.

Diary dates:

December 27th our debut performance at Memphis Slim’s House of Blues 9pm-12am Free entry

January 12th The Wheatsheaf Hotel Thebarton 430pm-7pm Free entry

until the Memphis Blues Challenge

Hello again. The gig at the Semaphore Workers’ Club was a hoot. Thank you for all who came along and making it such a good gig.

Next, we are competing against two other bands in the Memphis Blues Challenge to see if we get chosen to represent South Australia at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis later in the year.

We’ve got some fresh new tunes, Dave’s hand has been declared fit to drum to his heart’s content and our tonsils are freshly varnished with a vintage lustre and patina that comes with celebrating Martin’s completion of six decades of existence.

We’d love to have a good crowd supporting us at Norwood in a few weeks so if you can please come along. You can get tickets here.

Doors Open at 7.00 pm Bands play from 8.00 pm The TinMen play at 8.45 pm.

Norwood Live Function room is located at 97 The Parade, Norwood.

We hope to see you there. Subscribe to The TinMen gigs here.
