Johnny Farnham locked in for AFL GF 2016?

That's funny, computer picked up the wrong link....it was a good clip though. Would love to see that band again but unfortunately BG is no longer with us.

Correct link up now....please

Thanks rjay. Think I actually preferred the accidental Farnham clip though!

I am curious however about what % of Demonlanders you think might know who or what you meant by "BG"? Cheers.

Absolutely rjay! It's great when people can appreciate some of the good players, as opposed to only knowing singers.

...and good to see Tommy really kicking some goals these days.

Hey Rob, I'm a singer (of sorts) and no-one knows me.

Also, is BG Farnhams old guitarist Brett Garsed? If so, what does rjay mean by "no longer with us"?

Ok, sorry DC, I forgot there are some older members on these boards... Johnny Farnham; ringing any bells yet? :)

Come on! Johnny Farnham! The guy who used to turn the sheet music pages for Beethoven!

So the guys who shared information did nothing wrong, but the guy who revealed the not-wrong-doing got punished. Well done AFL. You've still got it.

"Cheney said his comments of receiving game-sensitive information from Michael Talia were made "in jest as part of friendly banter" with a mate." Shades of the tanking case.

Haha I like it Tim, err Hardtack! But you can always console yourself by remembering that musical talent doesn't always lead to fame and being famous doesn't always mean being very talented!

I only watched the video once, but was surprised to see my friend Barry Sullivan on bass, also known as "Big Goose" who passed away a few years ago. I've only heard personal friends or others in the music business call him "BG" as rjay did, so wonder whether rjay is in the business and was also curious whether other Demonlanders would know what he meant by "BG"?

I was lucky enough to meet and get to know Tommy back around those days 'Rob Mac......', lost contact now unfortunately.

Was always a fan of BG from the days of Chain and his time with Renee and met him a couple of times with Tom and at shows.

Ok, I do remember him as Goose, but didn't know the BG reference... strange that there was coincidentally a guitarist with the same initials. So Goose would have been playing in the days when Chain were backing Wendy Saddington in the late 60's (still remember them doing a live spot on Ross D Wylie's Up-Tight).

No, Brett Garsed... played with Farnham at one stage.

Barry Sullivan was called Big Goose, "BG" to differentiate him from Little Goose, "LG" their drummer Barry Harvey. This was more amongst band members & friends. Yes they did those gigs you mentioned. LG & I were in another band, also both played briefly in my band in 1973.

Unfortunately BG died a few years ago & a year ago I heard LG seems to have dementia!!?! Thinking about booking him for a gig, we spoke on the phone under 3 years ago and he was fine. Nothing lasts forever mate, enjoy it while we can. Rjay just PM'd so I'll write to him that way to avoid boring D'landers with inside muso talk.

Rob Mac.

Do you ever catch up with Colin Hay at the few shows he now does at Largo?

Outstanding example of when the sidetracks are so much better than the original subject of the thread! :cool:

Not the church type-yet.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
