In 1985, Party Boy Paul Christie was considering a new front man and he needed, by his admission, “the best rock ‘n’ roll voice in the country”. John Swan was asked …………he accepted. Along came the Party Boys self-titled album which went number one in 3 weeks thanks to the success of the number one single “He’s Gonna step on you again” and two top 10 hits “Hold Your Head Up” and “Gloria”. They also had success with a song penned by Swan and Lancaster “Is this the way to say Goodbye”. In 2000, John came off the road to get sober after too many years of hard partying. A long distance recording project with Australian producer Mark Moffatt, now based in Nashville, soon turned into a full blown album, ‘Have A Little Faith’. The new record features many of Nashville’s finest players working through a selection of new songs from John, some favourite tunes and some updated versions of his biggest hits.
