Forgot Johnos blues band!
Good old Johno is still around,
spends his days now busking on the Cairns Esplanade ever since his nightclub - Johno's Blues Bar was shut down in 2007 in a joint effott by qld liquor licensing and cairns police.
Always good to hear him banging out his versions of popular rock songs, particularly like his rendition of 'radar love' with extended guitar solos!
