Last night, in front of invited guests, Tim Finn took over the Jagermeister Hunting Lodge in its debut at the Sydney Festival. In a brief but powerful 45 minute set, Tim Finn and his band played songs off Tim's latest record The View Is Worth The Climb (including "Opposite Sign", a highlight of the set) as well as the usual selection of old favourites: "I See Red", "Charlie", "Talk a Walk" and the sentimental closer "Weather With You".

Proving this venue can hold sizeable crowds and big bands, with fantastic atmosphere and great sound, the Hunting Lodge is sure to be a hot destination for its series of free shows throughout the festival. Keep an eye on their Facebook Page for announcements of secret shows and chances to get on the exclusive door lists! - Larry Heath
