Overview

No voice resonates more with real-deal Aussie music than that of John Farnham's — and if your mind draws a blank at that name, you should probably skip town. With classics like 'You're the Voice' and 'Sadie (the Cleaning Lady)' and more comeback tours than actual tours, Farnsy is the kind of musician that has transcended the title of singer to become one of Australia's greatest icons.

Now, to celebrate her latest book on the one and only, Jane Gazzo talks to Andrew McMillen about the journey she took to discover the legendary performer. In a career spanning almost five decades, the likeable, charismatic star has entertained countless Australians, and Gazzo promises the inside scoop on how Farnham went from Melbourne plumber to the man behind multi-million record sales.

Jane Gazzo: On John Farnham kicks off at 7pm this Wednesday. If you can't wait until then for your Farnsy fix, there's nothing wrong with watching YouTube clips to get a gentle reminder of the man with the golden hair.
