About
John ‘Swanee’ Swan OAM is a staple of Australia’s music scene.
Born in Glasgow in 1952, he grew up on blues and soul music challenging himself to match the majesty of these singers' tones.
By the early 80s, he had established himself as a well-known solo artist moving into the world of pop music recording songs like ‘Lady What's Your Name’, ‘Temporary Heartache’ and his rendition of ‘If I Were a Carpenter'. In 1987 he became front man of rock n roll supergroup the Party Boys with great success including ‘Hold your Head Up’ and a number one hit with ‘He’s Gonna Step on You Again’. In recent years he’s devoted himself to charity and helping the needy, kicking some old habits along the way.
At this gig you hear Swanee with his younger brother Alan Barnes, an accomplished performer in his own right, backed by a 5-piece band, Swanee and Alan will perform his classics as well as hidden gems and a few of his favourite tunes.
In Swanee’s words – ‘we will kick serious arse!’
