From Sydney

Jimmy Barnes is a national treasure. He’s up there with the major icons, like the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and Uluru. Barnsey is behind all our favourite national anthems – Khe Sahn, Flame Trees, Cheap Wine & Working Class Man to name a few. You’re guaranteed to know the words to the second verses of those national anthems, that’s for sure. In fact, it’s hard to imagine a time when Khe Sahn was banned from the airwaves of commercial radio.

Whether you loved Jimmy Barnes back in the beginning, in the late 1970s when Cold Chisel was a nasty rock and soul band pulling in the crowds in pubs around Sydney and Melbourne, or grew up listening to Barnsey on the radio, or (amazingly) have only just discovered the overwhelming musical talent this Aussie icon has to offer – then you will know what sort of magic Jimmy deals in.

He’s sung with INXS and the Divinyls, Diesel, John Farnham, Joe Cocker and Tina Turner and over the past 30 years he has constantly refined his craft concentrating on soul, country and rock n roll classics. A Jimmy Barnes concert will always have grunt, edge, power, passion and a truck load of fans. You’d be mad to miss out on such a quintessentially Australian experience.
