R.I.P. Johno's Blues Bar

 Two community groups - and host to all the great travelling performers back into Aus history.     Johno's Blues Bar and the Cairns Tropic Jazz Club.

 

Back into 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 .   Every Sunday the World Famous Gong Show made grown people laugh and play.   Johno's shirts are next to the coveted Dotties Bar shirt as the number one I actually been to Cairns souvenir.  Ahaha- wonder if Robert Barret bought one when he wrote Goodoo Goodo.
