John Williamson - 55 Years - My Travellin' Days Are Done!
Artist Network presents John Williamson - 55 Years - My Travellin' Days Are Done!
Back by popular demand, John Williamson will return to the Princess Theatre for one night only!
2025 will mark his 55th year in the industry. He will also turn eighty. Twenty-five, fifty-five, eighty. From his humble beginnings as the son of a wheat farmer in the small Victorian Mallee town of Quambatook, it’s quite an achievement.
John has traversed this country for fifty-five years from the tip of Cape York to the windy shores of Tasmania, from Newcastle to Perth and everything in between, performing to hundreds of thousands of Australians. He has written and recorded well over 500 songs and has a swag of awards too numerous to list.
His live concerts take the audience on a journey across this vast land. From ‘Cootamundra Wattle’ ‘Cydi’ ‘Three Sons’ ‘A Bushman Can’t Survive’ ‘Rip Rip Woodchip’ ‘Galleries of Pink Galahs’ ‘Raining on the Rock’ ‘Please Don’t Forget Me’ and his calling card ‘True Blue’.
John’s fans will immediately recognise ‘My Travellin’ Days are Done’, as a line from another favourite song ‘Chandelier of Stars’. After fifty-five years of travelling, it says it all.
Don’t miss out on seeing this 'True Blue' perform live in 2025, before his ‘Travellin’ Days are Done’.
