He did say something to the Australian media in October last year about returning to do some blues the following year.
The more than chatty sticksman also reveals that he hopes to bring his blues band back to Australia at some point next year and to possibly enlist the services of an old mate, a certain J. Barnes. “It would be fun. He’s a great rock ‘n’ roll singer and in truth a great blues singer. He’s really adept at it.” As we went to press Barnesy wasn’t aware of this development, but hopefully he soon will be.

I don't think a join up with Jimmy Barnes is on the cards. Just noticed though apparently Mick, Billy Burnette and Waddy Wachtel did session work on Jimmy's best known material I've heard heaps of times. I had no idea.
