**** N.M.E. “It’s both a timely reminder of what made the group such a charming prospect to begin with and proof that Freedman has lost none of his finesse as a songwriter even after over a decade away… A wistful, endearing collection of songs from a seemingly-evergreen band.” DAVID JAMES YOUNG
**** The Australian “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.” ANDREW P. STREET
**** The Music “Sancho doesn’t disappoint the faithful…Listen hard, lyric lovers, there are some crackers in here…” LIZ GUIFFRE
*** 1/2 Sydney Morning Herald “…much of Sancho has an instrumental warmth and idiosyncratic ease,
whether Freedman is telling tall true-crime tales or memorialising his own past. This is plainly a Whitlams album, but it’s not merely a recreation of prior glories. That’s as good a way as any to come back from exile.” CRAIG MATHIESON

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 starts on February 17.
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.
With many dates already sold out, there are some tickets still available for remaining shows from: thewhitlams.com/tour
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.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
