John Farnham

The man, who has sold more tickets and more albums and notched up more achievements than any other Australian musician, will perform at the 2010 Airnorth Kimberley Moon Experience. JOHN FARNHAM will no doubt rock the banks of the Ord River in Kununurra like only The Voice can. You will be sure to be singing along to all your Farnham favourites.

Farnham joined Strings Unlimited as a 16 year old singer in late 1965, and was a national chart star two years later. Music has defined and consumed him, often to the exclusion of other pursuits. There has always been a new single, album, tour, show or collaboration commanding his attention. Admitting freely that he felt he “had to get out of people’s way for a while”, John laid recording and touring aside for a time to connect with family, friends... and horses. Always passionate about horses, John and Jillian Farnham became involved in the 90s with cutting horses – designed to show a quarter horse’s ability in the show ring to work with cattle.

Whilst John Farnham was away from stage and studio for a time, he was most certainly not away from those who have long admired and embraced his music. Many found their own way to maintain contact:. Farnham videos were found on 124 different sites around the world – from Japan to Romania, Hungary to Sweden – with possibly hundreds of other sites not yet located. YouTube alone has 7,235 listed, with the original ‘You’re The Voice’ clip having notched up 1.65 million views. In total on YouTube there have been 7.8 million Farnham views. It would be safe to estimate that John Farnham viral videos have been seen more than 25 million times.

Farnham’s performances across other parts of Australia late last year saw him and his crack ten-piece band look back over career highlights and had fans witness at close quarters a consummate singer and entertainer of more than forty years experience and unparalleled achievement, looking at the body of his work through the eyes, attitude and perspective he possesses now.
