Swanee Concert History

John Swan, better known as Swanee, is an Australian rock singer. He was born John Archibold Dixon Swan in Glasgow, Scotland in 1952. He is the older brother of rock legend Jimmy Barnes and the uncle of singer and stage performer David Campbell, and of singers Mahalia Barnes, Eliza-Jane Barnes, Elly-may Barnes and Jackie Barnes (who performed as Tin Lids). He emigrated to Australia with his family in 1961. When his mother remarried in the mid-60s, he was the only child to keep his natural father's surname.
