The UnOfficial J.O'K HomePage

The J.O'K Classifieds are here.
Mon Jan 8, 2001

After the tons of E-mails regarding J.O'K memorabilia etc. I have decided to create a web page to cater for the ever growing number of queries concerning this memorabilia. Whether to sell items or seek information regarding them, this new addition to the Johnny O'keefe Page should be helpful to fans.

Shout! - The Story Of The Wild One
Tue Jan 2, 2001

It has finally arrived. The highly anticipated Stage Show about the The Wild One Johnny O'keefe has premiered with positive reviews. This fantastic new multi-million dollar show chronicles his life and times, using 36 performers and a 14-piece orchestra to bring Australia's original and legendary Wild One back to the stage.

User Comments / Reviews can be found here.

From Jeremy Norton
Young Australian Of The Year in 1999, David Campbell gets the job of playing O'Keefe. A pretty daunting task, but David should be well-prepared. Having returned from New York and a lead role in Stephen Sondheim's Saturday Night, he has just finished playing the lead in Melbourne's production of Guys And Dolls. He will be sure to set himself a high standard if his father, legendary rocker Jimmy Barnes, is anywhere in the audience.
Directed by Richard Wherrett with choreography by Ross Coleman, Shout! features all the smash hits, from The Wild One and She's My Baby to later hits like So Tough. And Shout! of course.

If You're in Melbourne:

•	location: State Theatre (Victorian Arts Centre)
•	address: 100 St Kilda Rd Melbourne, 3000
•	hours: Dec 30-Jan 18 Daily
•	ticket information: Bookings Ticketmaster 136-166

Okay, A Few Little Things:
Nov 5th 1999

During the past few months you may have wondered why there hasn't been much added to the page. This is mainly because it is exam time for myself and I am currently in the last closing stages of the end of my University year. Therefore, after the 25th of November, The J.O'K page will be number one on the list of things to do.
Hard Drive Crash
I know it sounds like an excuse but it is the truth, Recent;y My PC Died, and with it, Most of my Mail backup files of messages that you, the Fans wrote to me. I did read most of them, but I couldn't reply to some of them straight away. And because of this, I have lost a few of your e-mail addresses. If you are suprised I didn't receive your message this could be why. If you Have any questions on anything regarding this page let me know.
Ofcourse I am always looking for other fans who want to contribute to the site. E-mail Me 8-)

Obtw: Like I said I did read some messages and I couldn't reply.

some people asked questions on the line of:

Q) Wanting Pictures of jok's funeral:
A) I will put the pictures on as soon as possible, I have some including his actual headstone. Give me a week or so.

Q) Wanting to contribute to the site:
A) By All Means Send it all in anything is welcome, anything... If you have a story to tell, articles, we'll put it on here, and if you think there's no place to put it, we'll make something up.

Letter to Festival Records
Aug 24th 1999

Recently I wrote a letter to festival records (J.O'K's Record Company) introducing myself and the J.O'K page. The main reason for this was to let Festival records know that we are here, and still going strong after 4 1/2 years. As well as a way to get any useful information from them, so us, the fans could keep up with what's happening. My first reply was from Warren Fahey, who looks after the J.O'K material at Festival. In which he wrote:

"....We have lots happening with Johnny's music this year including an airline
which will have a plane named after him, a portrait being hung in the
national portrait gallery, a double cd of his rock and roll material and loads more...."

A few days later, festival returned another message to me, this time by Zach Sarich, who stated:

"... I believe that somewhere in our plans here at Festival there are plans to
do a website of our own on Johnny but that may be some time down the track..."

So 1999 could still be a good year for J.O'K fans, lets hope that there is another J.O'K website to add to the slowly growing number that is available.

Trying, Trying, Trying
Aug 3rd 1999

I'm in the process of adding a sound gallery to the page, this will house recorded interviews and song samples for download. The only problem at this stage is trying to get permission to do so. I know i can just put them on there, but hey, it would look nice is i can say "used with permission" -right?.

Let's see how we go.
