 end, losing his seat in May 1997, Michael has
 since reinvented and endeared himself to
 many with his obvious respect for the solid
 workmanship found in the great railways of
 the world, the effect of the railways on the
 history of countries and the daily lives of
 their people. Listen to his story, told with a “
 parliamentary standup ”wit, and then feel
 free to question him about it. Followed by a
 book signing.

 new ones and hilarious ‘back’ stories),
 pausing only to reapply his deep heat rub!

Kevin Bloody Wilson
Sunday 15th March - 7.30pm
Tickets £29.50

A long time ago, a long way from anywhere, in
a West Australian mining town called Kalgoorlie,
the legend of Kevin Bloody Wilson was born. It all
started innocently enough - just a guy with too
much time on his hands changing the words
to other people’s songs, and writing a few of
his own, purely for the fun of it. Thirty-five years
later, countless live gigs and millions of album
sales down the track, Kevin Bloody Wilson has
not only found his niche, he’s grabbed an esky
and a deckchair and he’s made himself really
bloody comfortable in it! Kev’s songs match
the Kalgoorlie landscape, dry and unforgiving.
These songs are uniquely Australian, and yet
year after year, album after album, tour after
tour, people from all corners of the globe keep
laughing their guts out at Kevin Bloody Wilson’s
completely authentic and original body of work.

                                        conversations that wash over most of us and

                                        unique style of exaggerating and elaborating

                                        Time Out magazine said of him, “Not only a
