JOHN FARNHAM LIVE! ONLY WA SHOW FOR AN EVENING ON THE GREEN CONTINUES 10th ANNIVERSARY SEASON KINGS PARK & BOTANIC GARDEN – Saturday November 27

Australia’s favourite winery concert series continues its 10th anniversary season with Aussie icon set to play his first a day on the green events.

Farnham will perform three a day on the green shows nationally and indoor theatres as part of the John Farnham Live! tour through October/November. The legendary performer will play his only WA concert for an evening on the green at Kings Park & Botanic Garden on Saturday November 27.

Announcing the tour today John said: “I love doing outdoor shows and the vineyards around are such beautiful venues to perform at.”

For a man who has sold more tickets, more and notched up more achievements than any other Australian musician, performing live is still an absolute joy. This next round of shows continues Farnham’s ever-evolving musical life, which these days remains in balance with his time away from centre stage.

The concerts will once again feature Farnham’s long-time and hugely acclaimed band, featuring Chong Lim (musical director), Angus Burchell (drums), Stuart Fraser (guitar), (guitar), Steve Williams (saxophone, harp), Bob Coassin (trumpet), Craig Newman (bass), Lindsay Field (backing vocals), (backing vocals) and Dannielle Gaha (backing vocals).

Together they will work through Farnham’s phenomenal songbook, giving audiences the chance to once again see this consummate singer and entertainer in full flight. These select shows will also give Farnham fans an exclusive sneak preview of some brand new songs that he is currently recording for his new .

Whilst Farnham’s achievements are far too many to document, perhaps these two require acknowledgement. On record, ‘’ remains Australia’s highest selling album by a domestic artist ever and on stage, Farnham has performed a staggering total of 164 concerts at ’s Rod Laver Arena and the Sydney Entertainment Centre – a feat unlikely to ever be topped.

Joining John will be another Aussie rock legend . Clapton has endeared himself to music-lovers everywhere through his heartfelt inspired performances and brilliant songs. He has mastered that most difficult of achievements - the highwire balance of radio-friendly tunes and candid, from-the-heart lyrics. With songs like ‘’, ‘Deep Water’ and ‘Capricorn Dancer’ and his landmark albums like ‘’, he has stamped his place as one of Australia’s very best singer/songwriters.

The July 16 release of ’s 15th studio album “I Come In Peace” is a testament to his longevity and his ability to keep producing music that is as relevant in 2010 as it was 1964 when it all began. Recorded in Nashville & Melbourne, “I Come In Peace” is Wilson’s first new album in eight years and features 11 new songs that have his sublime song-writing touch all over them. His live performances showcase songs from Daddy Cool to to solo work, ensuring he is always a crowd pleaser.
