    My cousins were both Melbourne Symphony Orchestra members when these concerts with John Farnham were done. They said John was the consummate professional, technically brilliant & the nicest man as well. John's an extremely generous performer who loves the musos around him to shine. You only have to look at the conductor's face to see the joy such a collaboration produces.

    He’s just a nice man with an enormous talent. He’s completely down to earth and exceptionally private off stage. He lives on a farm with his family and horses and makes music when he wants to. The only reason that he’s not a global superstar is because he didn’t want to spent the time away from his family required to do that.

    It’s about time he gets recognised as The G.O.A.T![the greatest of all time]. He’s amazing live, our iconic singer & as I said bloody fantastic live. He’s amazing. Check out Loves In Need with the whole band singing acapella. Amazing isn’t the word. He’s definitely the G.O.A.T.

    Another amazing performance but that's John always outstanding live. Just a heap of energy that resinates through to everyone on that stage. This legend just shows us all that he can sing soul, slow, rhythm & blues, pop all the way to rock even hard rock. That brings me to another song you have to listen to. He does a cover of Led Zeppelin's 'black dog', you think you've heard him sing high notes even I didn't think he could go any higher. Just do a reaction to him singing that song and be prepared to be blown away.

Look at hay farmers concert. It’s amazing with the didgeridoo. It shows unity between our First Nation people. It’s a start to healing. You might as well try Aussie food also.

A set from the show “The Main Event” in which Anthony Warlow (One of Australia’s finest Opera / Broadway singers) pretends to teach John how to sing opera. You will be stunned by John’s versatility. Both are phenomenal singers and both are typical Aussie larrikins. This showcases their talent as much as their humour as it’s a comedy piece as well. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fWqp2qiEnaa-cps.html
