the bio......

John Brennan was born in Londons East End an area renowned for producing such
stars as Anthony Newley, Matt Monro and Des O'Connor to name just a few. By his
late teens John was singing in popular bands presenting a variety of musical styles
from rock n roll to jazz standards. In his twenties he became a professional singer
fronting a showband called "Showcase" which provided musical backing for some of
Britains best known comedians and cabaret performers.

Emmigrating to Australia became the moment to make a complete change and on
arriving in Brisbane John quickly established himself as a solo entertainer in the
cabaret scene performing three shows a night seven days a week.

A multi award winner John was named "Entertainer of the Year" two years in a row
with the later award presented to him by the great star " Danny La Rue - Britains
Entertainer of the Decade.. One of the highlights of this time was being chosen to
appear in a Command Performance show alongside many international stars...

Around this time Johns second album "The Nearness of You" was recorded, a more
laid back style of easy listening music. Influenced by jazz musicians, swing music and
especially the big band sound John was coaxed into appearing with the Australian
Glenn Miller Tribute Band and together they performed at many leading functions
and venues. This gave him a great insight to the workings of big bands and rekindled
his passion for this genre of music.

Over the years John has been fortunate enough to not only perform in Australia but
in many countries worldwide and a love for cruiseship performance has seen him
headlining for many fine cruiselines .
