Heads-up London! Tim’s hairy toes touch down in the UK briefly next month and accordingly he’s been cajoled into putting on a one-off show at the Arts Theatre on Tuesday 3rd October. (He loves performing in London, so the cajoling was not exactly arduous).
This is a rare chance to see Tim perform at such an intimate UK venue. If you’ve missed his lyrical gymnastics, mellifluous Aussie tones, baby blues, pleasingly tousled mane and that mischievous grin… he’ll spend 70 splendid minutes deftly bashing a baby-grand for your delectation.
