John Swan OAM was born in 1952 in Glasgow, Scotland, better
known as Swanee. He was born John Archibold Dixon Swan. He is the older brother
of singer-songwriter Jimmy Barnes, and musician and singer Alan Barnes, and the
uncle of singer and stage performer David Campbell. John Swan featured
in an ad for West End Draught, a South Australian beer. The brewer provided
financial support to Swanee's tours and he in turn appeared in the company's TV
commercials. This was a promotional 45 put out by West End Brewing perhaps in
the early eighties not real sure of the date because the single has no date of
release. It was penned by Les Gock and Chris Mitchell. The B side features Maggie
McKinney doing the same song but it’s about West End Boys. Maggie and husband
Chuck formed the Melbourne soul, funk outfit The Hot City Bump Band in 1973. Flac
