Everyone knows Johno...
Johno has welcomed more visitors to the region than the city council... supported more students than the college; and a long time non-drinker / non-smoker Johno is an avid campaigner for healthy living in an industry that was fraught with peril. Going 70 years of age Johno still performs for tourists and locals alike, - taking it to the streets as a busker and events performer on Cairns Esplanade. - Johnos Bues Bar.
Legends: Maiia: I asked about history an' Johno said "I don't like talking about the past.' So our focus is the present and evolving future of blues & roots performance. Eugene Hideaway Bridges and Michael Hill's Blues Mob Lisa Hunt played a couple of tours at Johno's back when Howlin was on piano. - Before the casino job... Johno in Art... Transient - an exhibition by the Upholstery Contemporary arts group in 2007 features at Cairns High library a painting in the style of John Paice - that graced Johno's Blues Bar for many years.
Christmas in Japan and a compilation CD and DVD. Johno in Okinawa. With Lenny.
