For The Working Class Man 40th Anniversary Edition is out this Friday, so I thought I’d share a few more stories from back in 1985...when it was first released. When I heard the mix of Working Class Man, I knew this song was going to be big.

A spectacular day in the garden today. I picked the rhubarb, and the last pic is the galette @jane13barnes.bsky.social made. The rest is just enjoying the rose garden. Happy Sunday.

I can’t keep up with my roses… not a bad problem to have. Here’s a bunch for whoever needs a bit of colour in their day. #wheretheriverbends

Relaxing with my Jane by the river, a few days of calm before the storm. The silly season has begun so have a safe and fun weekend. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Congrats to the winners of our Seasons Where the River Bends Competition. Your prize packs will be arriving in the mail over the next few days. We loved seeing all the beautiful photos & videos you shared. Thank you for bringing such creativity and passion to this celebration of our new cookbook.

This is a bloody bewtiful. We can’t wait to try some of these recipes, in fact, we’re calling for a cook off. #sooshimango @jane13barnes.bsky.social

I’m out for dinner with fast growing Dylan who is eating everything in sight. He’s off to camp tomorrow and thinks he will be starving for a few days.

I’m happy to share that Working Class Man the documentary will air on CH7 on Mon, Nov 17th. I flirted with death practically every night. Even as a man, I couldn’t leave my childhood behind. I found my feet in the world because I had great support from my Jane & the kids. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Jane and I caught up with Sally Bowrey to chat about life and the our new cookbook ‘Seasons Where The River Bends’. Here it is if you missed it. Full interview: youtu.be/nht-rAE8Src @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Have a great weekend everyone. Careful, it’s scary out there tonight. It’s an early night for us, before the ghouls come out. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

We really had a lot of fun with Melissa Doyle and Shane Crawford on The House Of Wellness show. If you missed it, here’s an acoustic version of Working Class Man. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Jane and I had a great time catching up with Melissa Doyle and Shane Crawford on The House of Wellness. Tune in tonight on Channel 7 or stream on 7plus (check local guides for details). @jane13barnes.bsky.social

It’s that time of year again. I’m happy to be in the garden picking roses for Jane my again. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

The Finn-laws are in town. It’s not often we get to catch up on tour. I’m sure anyone who’s caught Crowded House these past couple weeks agrees the shows are pretty special. Enjoy Saturday night. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Thanks for a great afternoon on the cruise ship. Felt fantastic to be doing what I love, singing rock ‘n roll in the high seas… well, in the middle of a big ocean.

Great show out at sea. We rocked the boat, and you were all incredible.

On our way to ‘Rock the Boat’. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Here’s another great entry in our Seasons Where The River Bends competition.. grilling and smoking skewers with Nic Finch + the kids. We’d love to see your video / photo of what you love to cook at home, or your best tips for making your garden thrive. Enter here: www.jimmybarnes.com/competition

Jane, Mahalia, and Ruby on the cover of Sydney Weekend, in the Saturday paper. It reminds me how lucky am I to be surrounded by such powerful women who are always willing to help and support anyone who needs it. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Our last night in HuaHin and the fishing boats gave us a light show. Bye to the best mangoes, the best hot & sour prawn soup and to this awesome verandah for now. A last 1km swim and beach walk before we head home. I’m ready. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

We’ve had quite a few entries to win our cookbooks. This one deserves a special mention. Good on you for schmokin’ Freddy, hard work but good rewards. You’ve inspired me, I’m going to smoke some trout when I get home. Upload your season-inspired dishes / garden tips www.jimmybarnes.com/competition

Here’s a throwback to one of my favourite Jane Barnes Band clips. It’s a particularly apt song for these times. We had David, Mahalia, Ben and amazing Gary Pinto with us that day. Mahalia, what a voice. Happy Sunday. #botw @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Well that was a feast. I can highly recommend ‘Suzayaki’ in HuaHin if you are after some excellent Japanese food. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

40 laps of this pool done and dusted. That’s 1km which is my target. I don’t know if you’ve ever come across patongo, these deep fried ‘Thai donuts’ (we call them), but I’m about to dip a couple in condensed milk and undo all the good work. That’s what you do on holidays. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

I’m getting fit and ready to rock for the Working Class Man 40th Anniversary Tour. Here’s a song off that album that I love playing live. Ride The Night Away at Australian Made, back in 1987. Can’t wait to smash it on tour. Grab your tickets 👉 www.jimmybarnes.com/tour-dates

To get your creative juices flowing, here’s one of our favourite, easy Winter recipes, prepared with grandson Dylan.

Another day in paradise. I’ve been coming to this place for chicken rice for over 40 years and I’ll keep coming back. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

I can say Life is great. I have to keep moving to get the most out of it, and keep that heart pumping.

Found out last minute I can watch the NRL Grand Final right here on the beach.. I thought I was going to have to get to a pub. I’ve got my snacks ready… May the best team win.

Mango season is over in Thailand but you wouldn’t know by the flavour. Early beach walk then our first stop at the markets for mango and sticky rice. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Beach holiday time in the Land of Smiles with my girl. One of my favourite places in the world to be. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

A life dedicated to animals, the planet, and hope. Jane Goodall’s impact will never be forgotten.

We’re off on a short break before it goes into high speed touring. Dylan is not happy that we’re going without him. We’ll be missing that Teddy. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Teddy has spent a lot of time in the garden over the years. It’s only fair he gets to sign some cookbooks #Seasonswheretheriverbends @jane13barnes.bsky.social

This man got me up dancing again when he operated on my hips, not once, not twice but three times. John Rooney will get you up dancing too when he opens up for the ‘Working Class Man 40th Anniversary Tour’. Check out John Rooney Music.

A fantastic haul from the garden. We’re off to the big smoke. @jane13barnes.bsky.social

Always great to have a sing with Diesel, EJ, Teddy and his dad Jimmy Metherell. Getting together for the Jane Barnes Band. How lucky are we? ‘You Really Got a Hold on Me’ @jane13barnes.bsky.social

This is what I woke up to this morning. We’ve spent a priceless couple of months together, a time I will certainly remember forever. Teddy, you never cease to amaze me.

We’re out celebrating friendship. Always a very special night out with Sam.

Snoop Dogg’s in town. Hope he kills it on the weekend. It’d be great to do this again with my mate John (how fantastic is he?) … and Snoop.

Happy birthday DYLAN. 11 years old 🎶🎂
