About
John Curran is a musical soloist based in Melbourne, VIC.
No lyric sheets and no iPad between John Curran and the crowd. Every song is played from memory, with a raw and raucous 70s pub rock feel. Pub circuits have been home since the 1970s, solo and in bands. The 74-song list mixes Khe Sanh, Eagle Rock and April Sun in Cuba with Folsom Prison Blues, Ghost Riders in the Sky, Tubthumping, Living Next Door to Alice and Your Sex Is on Fire. Want something that isn't on it? Give about two months' notice so it can be learned properly, or it can go through the speakers as a DJ track instead. Allow roughly 2 by 2 metres, cover if outside, and one or two power points. Melbourne based, travelling up to 50 km.
