Tim Minchin

Inheritance Tracks

Tim Minchin is the multi-talented Australian musician, comedian, actor, writer, director, who helped bring Matilda from book to stage with his hit musical lyrics.

In his new book "You Don't Have To Have A Dream" he shares his thoughts and advice on life, art, success, kindness, love - but it was his dream to be a musician that drove young Tim from an early age.

It was his tongue-in-cheek songs and poetry that helped find him fame here in the UK and off the back of his success rebranding Dhal he has turned Groundhog Day into a musical and even trod the boards himself as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar.

With a CV like that – what then will he choose as his Inheritance Tracks.

Inherited: What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong Passed on: Lullaby of Birdland by Ella Fitzgerald
