Farnham flash mob

MANLY commuters were "Farnham'd'' this morning when a group of men dressed as singer John Farnham serenaded people at the wharf.

The group dressed in blonde "mullet'' wigs, belted out the chorus to Farnham's hit 1980s song You're The Voice accompanied by a set of bagpipes.

In a nod to Farnham's video clip for the song, the men also donned black robes and white shirts, bringing a smile to the faces of many passersby rushing to catch a ferry.

The men said they were all from Melbourne but did not wish to give any more details about themselves.

They said that it was important that people understood "they're the voice''.

"They need to try and understand it,'' one said.

"But they probably won't understand it,'' another piped in.

The group describe themselves as a Farnham flash mob and to those who see them as being "Farnham'd''.

Footage of them singing around Sydney and Melbourne in the past week has been placed on YouTube and they also have a Twitter account @TheFarnhams.
