Bio

Powerful, dynamic and entertaining are just a few words to describe this Tasmanian-born country singer. That petite package born 40 years ago has become the one and only Gina Timms, now living back in Tassie following a lengthy stay interstate after the birth of her children, Jakeb and Samuel. When her sons were born Gina scaled down her appearances to concentrate on motherhood.

Now with a new CD, It’s Time, about to be unleashed on an unsuspecting public, Gina Timms is well and truly back on the road – and coming to a venue near you.

Juggling motherhood and live performances is no problem for Tasmania’s Barnardos Mother of the Year 2007. It’s all about multi-tasking and organisation – something every mum knows only too well.

Gina Timms is a barrel of laughs in more ways than one. That big voice of hers can turn heads – and then there’s the rest of the package. No performance is half-hearted. Gina gives her all – and there’s a lot of love to give with this amazing entertainer.

She’s a five-foot human dynamo on stage, whose theme song, Texas (When I Die) has brought the house down at many a show during her regular Tamworth Country Music Festival appearances.

You’ve probably caught her act around Tamworth or watched Gina in action hosting the annual Ladies of Country Show at Wests, or as chief judge of the Aristocrat Country Entertainer of the Year, held at Wests each January.

Gina wasn’t just a festival visitor to Tamworth. She made the city her home in 1991, arriving to record an album, and she didn’t get around to leaving for another four years. In 1991 she won the Beat’n’Trak talent search and was a Toyota Star Maker grand finalist. In those four years in Tamworth, she made lots of friends and built up a loyal fan base in the north-west and New England, where she toured regularly.

Gina’s endless work for charity has also earnt her the respect of many fundraising organisations, including Barnardos Australia, who named her Tasmania’s Mother of the Year in 2007.

In her stage shows, Gina Timms packs quite a punch. It’s pure enjoyment, enthusiasm, talent … and fun.

WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS SAYING ABOUT GINA TIMMS

I love watching Gina perform. You never know what to expect. One minute she has you in fits with a joke and the next minute you’re crying with emotion because of her sensitive rendition of your favourite song. Gina’s versatility made it easy to fill the books with engagements at lots of different venues. Gina really can mix it with the best. Marie Robertson, former partner, Axiom Enterprises Booking Agency, Tamworth

I have known Gina for a number of years now and she never disappoints her audience. Gina has that something special that leaves her fans begging for more. This sure is one lady who can deliver. Lee Kernaghan, award-winning country performer

Gina has always been a very popular act at the Tamworth RSL. When she was working here regularly she had a real following who would attend her shows. Gina has the capacity to hold crowds over the whole of her performance. She’s always coming up with something different. She has a vibrant personality that transposes on to her performance on stage. Mike Mooney, former secretary-manager, Tamworth RSL Club

Gina Timms has that quality in her voice that many performers continually search for – it’s the credibility factor. When Gina sings a love song, she knows what she’s talking about. With her more uptempo songs it’s quite apparent to all that this is one lady who love to laugh and have fun. I’ve never seen Gina put in a less than sensational performance yet.
