My tour starts this week, it’s terrifying! You should see the budget spreadsheet. It has a lot of columns. In truth I didn’t do much of it, my faithful assistant Julie took care of it. She’s a wiz with formulae – a formulaic wiz, so to speak. Anyway based on my projections I should be living under the sea by December. I can’t wait for my new life, under the sea. Things are simpler there. For one thing, it’s getting warmer, which is clearly beneficial, as any nonce can work out.

Actual pertinent information

Anyway I have added a new show in PERTH on Sunday, at the Beaufort St Songwriter’s Club. So tell your Perth mates! I’ve also solidified some line ups.. in Fremantle I have Daniel Davis of Big Orange opening. In Brisbane I have the stunning Sabrina Lawrie & The Hunting Party, Ofa Fanaika and Deena doing the support honours. Sydney will see Lisa Caruso & Sachet join my band and David’s band. I’ve got me old Qld mate Luke Peacock‘s brand new band Minor Premiers playing with me in Melbourne! Anyway full listings and ticket links below. Under the sea!

Merch.

Okay yep tour tour tour. I will have these on sale:

That’s right folks: GAYTFOLDD VYNYLS.. can also be ordered from here

Smerch burgers.

 

Also these:

The excellent design is by Kate Alexander, with additional head by Steve Lynagh. It would be accurate to say that my outsourcing of t-shirts was something of a PR failure, but we got a result. Two results, in fact. Here’s a close up of the designs; I actually doctored Steve’s to make the VR goggles bigger, added more hair and removed an expression line, but he doesn’t read my newsletters so I reckon I’ll be okay.

Anyway they’ll be $25, white only cause I left it too late. I’ll also have caps and stubbie coolers. Eftpos facilities available. I’ll set up an online store real soon as well.

It’s time to buy a ticket to my show.

Seeya.
