The release of The Whitlams’ seventh album ‘Sancho’, their first since 2006, has garnered an impressive collection of great reviews from music critics across the board ahead of their ‘Gaffage and Clink Tour’ which includes a performance at The J Theatre Noosa on Saturday 19 February.

“Hearing the familiar voice of Freedman reassuring us that ‘the worse that it was, the better it will be’ might just be what we need in these uncertain times,” is how The Australian’s Andrew P Street summed up their tour.

Tim Freedman said, “You have no idea how much I want to get back to the dressing room after a great show and have a beer with the boys in the band. Third time lucky, here we come.”

The ‘Gaffage and Clink Tour’ has 36 dates confirmed across most parts of the country including five shows at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel, three shows at Perth’s Astor Theatre, two shows at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, and two in the Summerhouse on the River Torrens to close next year’s Adelaide Festival.

The ‘Gaffage and Clink Tour’ will see The Whitlams play their usual rambunctious set highlighting the new album and featuring a broad selection of tunes from their six Platinum and Gold albums. It will also feature solo sets from special guests Alex Lloyd and Emily Wurramara on selected dates.With many dates already sold out, there are some tickets still available for remaining shows from: thewhitlams.com/tour
