John Farnham Entertains the Troops in East Timor
Title:
John Farnham Entertains the Troops in East Timor
NFSA ID
460497
Year
1999
John Farnham performs his hit song 'That's Freedom' for the troops in Dili, East Timor during a Christmas concert featuring a host of Australian singers and entertainers. Other performers include Kylie Minogue, Doc Neeson and hosts Roy (John Doyle) and HG (Greig Pickhaver).
John is clearly comfortable during Roy and HG's opening banter before he breaks into song. Despite what must have been challenging circumstances, the production of the whole live performance is exceptional.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
