ISSUE 3, October 2006

Welcome to another edition of The Whitlams’ Newsletter.

The album is out, has gone gold, won over critics and been nominated for an ARIA.

Also the lads are in fine form on the live circuit.

The latest tour dates are at the bottom of this letter

so you can be sure to find them swinging by your way soon.

Tim has also answered some more of your questions so keep them coming in

to us at fow@thewhitlams.localnerd.dev

Dates have been announced for shows with The Queensland Orchestra,

and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra next year. Tickets are not

available to the public yet (TQO early next year, ASO in December) but

if you were keen for great tickets you could enquire about

subscriptions. For example in Adelaide you can subscribe to the

orchestra by buying 3 shows for $150. Herbie Hancock is playing with

them next year (which will be divine), and they are even doing the

music of Queen at one of their non-classical concerts, so there are 3

fine nights you could indulge in. In Queensland you have to attend 4

shows to be a “subscriber”. Shows with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra

at the Opera House, and WASO in Perth will be announced soon.

It looks like Melbourne will miss out unfortunately. Sorry Melbourne.

Melbournites should be careful too because this Friday’s show at The Corner Hotel

has sold out, so you had best come on Thursday night to the Central

Club around the corner in Richmond. This is a smaller room with

better sight lines, and there are standing room tickets still

available.

Throw in a beautiful turn of phrase and The Whitlams have never sounded better.” ****
