Jimmy Barnes To Replace The Seekers At Gympie Muster

More acts have been announced as joining the already packed bill for the Gympie Music Muster today, with a raft of some of Australia's finest talent today revealed as the August event's latest additions.

The legendary Jimmy Barnes joins the line-up as a co-headliner after The Seekers were forced to put all touring plans on hold while front woman Judith Durham recovers from her recent cerebral haemorrhage. One of his closest collaborators, Don Walker, has also been confirmed for a spot on the bill – the Cold Chisel pianist will be proving his status as one of our country's finest ever songwriters.

Russell Morris, who seems to be kicking goals left, right and centre right now, is another addition to the bill with tunes from his gold-certified Sharkmouth LP sure to bring a little blues to proceedings alongside his classic Aussie rock while also joining the line-up today is much-loved country star Jasmine Rae.

Rounding out this latest announcement is Travis Collins, The Kelly Gang, The Bobkatz, Kim Cheshire and Karl Broadie, Cass Eager, The Viper Creek Band, Catfish Voodoo, Papa Pilko & The Bin Rats and Janice.
