R.I.P. Johno's Blues Bar

Johno's Blues Bar, Cairns Tropic Jazz Club and the Yachtee were host to all the great travelling performers back in Australian and Cairns history.  Back in the pirate-bar days when Cairns was uncharted waters to carpet-baggers and sooks from the city.

 

 Goodbye Blues Bar  &      Hello Johno Johnson!

 

Next to Joh Bjelke - and the Fitzgerald Inquiry - Johno' is prolly the most famous person in Queensland.  For 20 odd years In their tens of thousand tourists national and international flocked to Johno and the Blues Bar .   

 

Making people laugh and play, how we all loved the inspirational Jack and Lil.  Every Sunday at the World Famous Gong Show   

 

Ahaha- wonder if Robert Barret bought one when he wrote Goodoo Goodoo...  Johno's shirts are nearly as coveted as the original Dotties Bar/Pirate Bar shirt -the no. 1 actually been to Cairns souvenir.
