Ian McFarlane

Now, well, almost.

They were formed in 1989 by Steve Bishop on drums, John Collins on bass, and Ian Haug on guitar and vocals.

All three members were a band of the stu- were students at Brisbane Grammar School, a private school in Spring Hill, close to central Brisbane.

They started off as a cover band playing pub rock classics by famously pub rock bands, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, and Neil Young.

Despite the band's popularity in Brisbane, they were once booed off stage at a heavy metal gig in Newcastle.

Quite what a Rolling Stones and Neil Young cover band were doing playing a heavy metal gig is anyone's guess.

Ian, uh, sorry, Coll- yeah, Collins and Haug attended the University of Queensland, where they met Bernard Fanning in an economics class, and the trio bonded over a shared love of music.

And, um, M- Fanning joined the band in 1990, taking over the vocals.

Uh, Farnham was being managed, had been managed by Daryl Sambell from 1967 to 1976, and by his long-term friend Glenn Wheatley, who, uh, originally played in The Masters Apprentices, of course, uh, from 1980 to the latter's death in 2022.

Uh, Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane described John Farnham as the most popular s- and successful solo artist in history of Australian rock and pop.
