FARNHAM ROCKS ON AT 69 NOT OUT
JOHN Farnham is keeping everyone happy after turning 69 last weekend.
The iconic singer will headline a string of A Day on the Green shows in December.
With a set based around his classic Whispering Jack album, Farnham will play at A Day on the Green shows at Leconfield Wines McLaren Vale South Australia on November 24, Bimbadgen in Hunter Valley in New South Wales on December 1, Sirroment Wines, Mt Cotton, Queensland, on December 2 and Rochford Wines in Victoria’s Yarra Valley on December 8.
“I already do most of the songs from Whispering Jack, but there’s a couple of fillers we might skip!” Farnham joked. “And obviously there’ll be all the other songs people want to hear.”
The A Day on the Green line-up will also feature Daryl Braithwaite, Russell Morris and Bachelor Girl.
“It’s so good people are embracing Australian music on these bills,” Farnham said. “I’ve done a few shows with Daryl, The Horses is his You’re the Voice. Everyone knows it. I’ll be backstage waiting to go on and I can hear everyone roaring along to The Horses. Good on him.”
Joining the local acts will be US singer – and Farnham fanboy – Richard Marx.
Marx has written songs for Farnham and performed with him in 1994.
“I know Richard quite well,” Farnham said.
