Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians.
Today we share a recent zoom room chat with Australian rock singer John Archibold Dixon Swan.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1952. John Swan migrated to Australia with his family in 1961.
He is the older brother of singer-songwriter Jimmy Barnes of Cold Chisel fame, and an uncle of stage performer David Campbell and singer Mahalia Barnes.
With a successful solo career both before and since, in 1987, Swanee replaced Angry Anderson as lead singer of The Party Boys, and Johns tenure with the band proved to be the group's most successful period.
In 2015, Swan was announced as South Australia's Senior Australian of the Year and in 2017 was appointed an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in recognition for his work with various charitable organizations.
