Well "The Farnham Story" on Channel 9 tonight was wonderful. It brought a few tears to my eyes and re-enforced just how completely amazing John really is.

Channel 7 are showing "An Audience with John Farnham" tomorrow night (21/11/02) at 7:30-9:00pm. So don't forget to make time for that one too.

As you are all aware by now, John's last concert tour is official. If you have been watching the news recently, you would have seen numerous interviews with John.

John has said, "I won't tour again, this will be the last time".

If you missed it, or don't watch Today Tonight, they had a 4 minute interview with John on Monday 19 August 2002.

John Farnham admitted it's a sad day. "I want to try and finish at the right time. I don't want to be playing to the cleaners and three crickets. I want to, if I can, finish with full houses". "My whole energy, all of my energies for all of my musical life have been aimed towards going out and working live. That's what I do. That's what I love to do more than anything else".

Glenn Wheatley said, "It's trying to co-ordinate 35 years into 2 1/2 hours. Cause that's what it is. There won't be any support act. John wants to do the whole show by himself and we've got so much repertoire that we could play all night".

In regards to his new album being accepted, John said, "I think it matters more to me now, I guess, and it's more difficult as the time goes on because the more notoriety that you get, the more is expected of you".

And John's final words to his adoring fans, "Thank you. What else do you say. Thank you".

Sorry for the lack of updates since 2000 but there's been a lot of personal issues going on and I haven't had the time to put into the page. Thankfully, things have picked up this year and I am ready to go again. I have been waiting for something to write about before making any changes though.

There has been a few changes to the page but nothing dramatic.

Entire Site - Scroll bar is a different color, links now have a javascript underline on them, and I have a flash introduction to the page.

Interactive - Changed the layout slightly, added a new menu bar, removed the Chat Room, changed the "coming soon" section and added sites where you can download John's songs as your ring tone for your Mobile.

Contact Form - Created a new contact form that uses your email program to send. If you don't use a program like Outlook Express you won't be able to use this form. But we have put our contact details on the page too.

I would really appreciate it if you could let me know what you would like on the page. If I can do it, I would be more than happy to add it. After all, this site is for you. Send me an email with your suggestions and I'll see what I can do.
