Tom Gleisner’s songs that set the scene

What do The Late Show, Utopia, The Castle, and Have You Been Paying Attention? all have in common? Tom Gleisner. As a part of Working Dog, he’s been behind some of the most successful and funny stories on Australian screens for 3 decades.

Tom has always been a collaborator but for the first time ever he’s stepping out on his own. With a musical. You guessed it, I had to ask him to Take 5. From Tom Waits to Bette Midler, this is a beautiful glimpse into one of Australia’s funniest creator’s mind.

  • Tom Waits - The Piano Has Been Drinking 
  • Beth Nielsen Chapman - Seven Shades of Blue 
  • George - Special Ones 
  • Eleri Ward - Another Hundred People 
  • Bette Midler - Hello In There
