As usual an excellent show. Love the support musos as well. Good venue . Fred always so friendly and welcoming. Excellent repertoire with variety of genres. Slide shows helped a lot. My friend and sister missed not coming but hopefully Fred can visit again. Always welcome to return!

Easily the best show we've seen in 30 years. Fred makes you laugh, think and cry. Brilliant!

Great to see Fred back in Sydney after long break. New music , new album, and yes a new book too. The real highlight, sort his dry humour, poignant lyrics and interactive slide show, was the incredible musicians accompanying him. Love, COVID, war and death. All the essentials for life and Fred’s music.

About Fred Smith
Over the last 20 years Fred Smith has emerged as one of Australia’s most interesting songwriters. He has been all over the joint: working on peace keeping missions in Afghanistan and the South Pacific, touring in America and travelling the Australian festival circuit.
He is the subject of the film Bougainville Sky about his time in the war-torn islands of the South Pacific where his work as a musician and radio broadcaster contributed to the success of the world’s first unarmed peace keeping force.
Fred was the first Australian diplomat to be posted to Uruzgan in July of 2009. He wrote a powerful collection of songs about the realities of life for soldiers and civilians in this difficult war, recently released on a high acclaimed album called Dust of Uruzgan.
He has put out about 10 CDs, two of which won National Film and Sound Archives Awards. Some of these were joint efforts with Liz Frencham and the Spooky Men's Chorale.
