Tim Freedman’s Moonlit Deck
After three sold out Hamer Hall shows with MSO in September 2025, Tim Freedman is ready to strip things back and get his cabaret on.
There is nothing more classic than a man and his piano, and an audience ready to listen. With his delicate piano stylings and lyrics of good-natured cynicism, intimate smaller theatres around the country have become a staple of his touring cycle as a relaxing antidote to the highly charged rock rooms and concert halls of The Whitlams’ full band and orchestra shows.
Guiding you through the highlights of his nine album catalogue with songs such as 'Blow Up the Pokies' and 'No Aphrodisiac', and into some lesser known detours including the recent country outing, The Whitlams Black Stump album 'Kookaburra', Tim looks forward to meeting you up close and personal.

NIKKI NICHOLLS - THE SONGS AND STORY OF CAROLE KING - With a touch of JAMES TAYLOR
The songs and story of Carole King with a touch of James Taylor, featuring Nikki Nicholls and Kings Rule has been performed at The Palms in Crown, The Melbourne Town Hall, Alex Theatre, Melbourne and regional performing art centres in Mildura, Swan Hill, Merimbula, Wodonga, Shepparton, Bairnsdale and more. This magical concert of Carole and James’ songs has given each audience an unforgettable evening of beautiful memories.
Carole King is one of the most prolific singer/songwriters of our time. The ‘Baby Boomer’ generation fell in love with her melodies and chord structures that touched the heartstrings of her legions of fans with lyrics that simply expressed our feelings. Her music has withstood the age of time and a new generation of soulful melody lovers have discovered her once again.
Nikki has had a long and distinguished career performing with some of the best artists in the music industry including Stevie Wonder, John Farnham, Suzi Quatro, Lulu, Australian Crawl, Richard Clapton and touring the world with Kylie Minogue. Nikki starred alongside Wendy Stapleton and Debra Byrne for 10 years in the highly acclaimed “Girls, Girls, Girls” and recently released her solo album “Bridesmaid.” The members of King’s Rule are Adrian Scott (Air Supply & Kylie Minogue), Steve Wade (Little River Band) and Michael Barker (Kings of Oz).
This fabulous show is a musical journey highlighting not only Carole’s creations for herself, but also songs she wrote for other artists such as The Beatles “Chains,” James Taylor, The Drifters “Up on the Roof,” Blood Sweat & Tears “Hi De Ho,” Herman’s Hermits “I’m into Something Good” and more. Steve Wade gives us a touch of James Taylor with some of his most loved songs ‘How Sweet It Is’, ‘Fire and Rain’, ‘Carolina On My Mind’ and ‘Steamroller Blues’.
Nikki says, “In 1971, when Carole was the keyboard player in James’ band he decided that she needed to shine. So to her complete dismay, Carole was coaxed to the front of the stage by James to take up her rightful position under the spotlight. It was from that moment Carole King the performer was born.” Also, “Carole King’s life so far has certainly been a tapestry of rich and royal hue and I feel extremely blessed to be able to present a collection of her amazing, legendary songs that was the soundtrack of our lives.”
CAROLE KING & JAMES TAYLOR, not to be missed!
