Jimmy Barnes joins his family for special live performance

Jimmy Barnes and his talented family have wowed the Today Extra viewers with a rousing musical performance. 

Appearing on the breakfast show to promote the upcoming Jane Barnes Band tour, Jimmy was joined by his wife Jane, and daughter Mahalia, with a special addition of his son and Today Extra co-host David Campbell. 

To mark the family affair, the Barnes took the opportunity to perform a beautiful acoustic rendition of Nat King Cole's Around The World for the Today Extra audience.

David admitted it was not the family's first time playing the song, saying it was their "party trick tune".

"This is the first time you've heard it live on national television guys," an excited Sylvia Jeffreys said before introducing them.

Before their performance, David admitted that he was still tossing up whether he will join his family on tour with the Jane Barnes Band.

"You were one of the original members," Jane told David.

"I'm going to be singing with the two best singers in the land, sometimes three - I haven't negotiated with you yet."

Sylvia joked that David should do it for "mates rates" and he said he "used to be higher up" in the family hierarchy.

"No offence, I'm calling my therapist after this," he laughed.
