Tim says: “I’ve always loved Adelaide. From playing with Eddie Perfect at the Cabaret Festival, through shows in tents in the Garden of Unearthly Delights, to playing with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, to having Matilda the Musical play at Adelaide Festival Centre, I have always loved the gigs, the audiences, and the place. It’s a huge honour to be represented star-shaped in your pavement.”

White Wine in the Sun

Hey! It’s that time again and as in previous years, all November, December and January profits from the sale of Tim’s beloved sentimental Christmas song, White Wine In The Sun, will go to The National Autistic Society. The NAS provide support, information and services for people with autism and their families and campaigns for “a better world for people with autism”.

There are two versions; the 2009 solo version and the 2012 studio version, with strings, french horn and more.

Here are a few more of the places you can download the 2012 single internationally: iTunes, Amazon (UK), Amazon (US) and 7digital.

If you have it already, you may fancy gifting it, along with the socks, jocks or chocs…

Hi.
In December, I’m moving to Sydney with my family, so it might be a good while before I play West Coast US shows again.

This micro tour is a happy-sad farewell to this lovely-wild city (and brilliant-crazy-scary country) that we’ve lived in for 4 years.

The gig will be a bit different. There are some guest musos lined up, and I’ll be playing songs rarely heard. And plenty you have.

It’ll be special, I reckon. Come come.

This evening, 7pm-7:30pm, Tim’ll be interviewed on The Project NZ on Channel Three (+HR=E).

The programme is hosted by Jesse Mulligan, Kanoa Lloyd, Josh Thomson and Petra Bagust.

Sadly, this programme is geo-blocked outside New Zealand. We’ll try to get the footage to pop on here after the programme airs.

 
UPDATE: A husky voiced Tim talking about the new book When I Grow Up and filming upcoming Australian comedy series Squinters.
 

We’re delighted to reveal the cover of the US edition of When I Grow Up, the magical new picture book inspired by Tim’s hit song from the multi-award-winning Matilda the Musical. The book imagines life from a child’s viewpoint, with all the humour and poignancy of the song.

The US edition will be published on March 27th, 2018, by Scholastic Press US.

When I Grow Up is illustrated by Steve Antony, an internationally published, award-winning author and illustrator of many picture books, including the Mr Panda series.

The US edition can be pre-ordered from Amazon.

Each cover, for the three editions, is slightly different but infused with the same playful energy and imagination for which When I Grow Up is so beloved.

You can take a look at the UK edition cover and publication details here and the Australian edition cover and publication details can be found here.

This evening, 6.30pm–7.30pm, Tim’ll be on The Sunday Project on Channel Ten.

He joins hosts Hamish MacDonald, Chris Bath, Tommy Little and Rachel Corbett, alongside fellow guests Rob Langdon and Kris Smith.

UPDATE: Tim’s on at the very end of the programme.

If you can’t sit around your tellys at the allotted time, the show will be available afterwards on The Project’s website. (Sadly Tenplay’s catch-up is geo-blocked outside Australia.)

Here’s the segment:

Adam Zwar & Tim

Tim’s to star in Squinters, a new six part comedy series, created by Adam Zwar and Trent O’Donnell, for the ABC.

The series, set entirely in cars, follows the lives and aspirations of rush-hour commuters from Sydney’s western suburbs as they drive to work in the morning and then catches up with their day again on the return trip. The title refers to the fact they are heading east, into the sun, in the mornings.

Tim joins a stellar cast: Jacki Weaver, Miranda Tapsell, Mandy McElhinney, Damon Herriman, Sam Simmons, Andrea Demetriades, Wayne Blair, Christiaan Van Vuuren, Justin Rosniak, Jenna Owen, Susie Youssef, Rose Matafeo, Steen Raskopoulos, John ‘MyChonny’ Luc and Nyasha Hatend.

Produced by Jungle, Squinters will shoot in October in Sydney and Los Angeles and is set to air on ABC in 2018.
