Australian Rocker Jimmy Barnes Kicks Off Working Class Man: An Evening of Stories & Songs This Week

Jimmy Barnes, the hardest working man in Australian rock 'n roll, is kicking off his new Working Class Man: An Evening of Stories & Songs tour with two sold-out shows in Thirroul commencing on Thursday with almost all shows on the tour now Sold Out.

Jimmy's critically acclaimed 2nd memoir "Working Class Man" went straight to #1 on the Neilsen Bookscan chart. Like its predecessor "Working Class Boy", has already been nominated in the Non-Fiction category in the 2018 Indie Book Awards and last week the Australian Publishers Association announced its inclusion in the Biography Book of the Year longlist for the 2018 Australian Book Industry Awards (ABIAs).

"After the Working Class Boy tour I'm really excited to take the Working Class Man tour out on the road. Come and see us and learn how that childhood affected the rest of my life. You could be in for a shock" said Jimmy.

Tickets for all remaining dates are selling fast. Fans are reminded to only buy tickets by following the direct ticket links here. People who choose to ignore this clear advice and who instead use search engines like Google to find tickets typically get steered to unofficial reselling sites like Viagogo that often lead to rip offs.

The Working Class Man: An Evening of Stories & Songs tour will also help promote the good work of Lifeline (www.lifeline.org.au) as Jimmy will be drawing further attention to the issues of addiction and mental health in both his new book and live show.


To coincide with the release of "Working Class Man", Bloodlines/ Mushroom have released a limited edition, commemorative version of one of the greatest Australian rock albums of all time, For The Working Class Man,which includes a never before released DVD from the legendary Playroom in Queensland in 1984.


The updated, remastered video for Working Class Man can be viewed and embedded from here. Hi res images can be downloaded from here.
