From nostalgic folk and fiery bluegrass, The Way That It Was is a show that honours tradition while making room for the next generation of storytellers. Each performance on the tour will be held in a local country hall, featuring not only Wicker Suite’s music but also spotlighting local artists and community initiatives. The duo is looking forward to immersing themselves in the communities that have long been the beating heart of Australian music.

Tom Gleeson - Out of Touch
Tom Gleeson is completely out of touch. Come along to the show and take him down a peg. Tom Gleeson is a gold-plated comedy superstar, hosting ratings smashes and filling theatres across the country. He's played rowdy RSLs and filled the Sydney Opera House. There isn't a corner of this country that he hasn't performed in. On ABC-TV's The Weekly, Tom's segment Hard Chat beget his own show Hard Quiz, which not only blitzes the ratings as it enters its eleventh season, but also earned Tom Australian television's gong of gongs – the Gold Logie, which rubs against his 5 AACTAs on his very crowded trophy shelf. Given his natural disdain for the public, Tom couldn't resist the chance to apply it to his fellow comedians as the host of Network Ten's sixth season of Taskmaster Australia.
