He has been described by The Times as "an electrifying guitarist and singer whose music blurred the boundaries between folk, jazz, rock and blues"

I guess it's easier to look cool posting a comment with a mini-intellect and Mini-experience of playing in a band with mini-exposure and mini-talent?

Remember that John and Beverly provided the greater U.K (as such)with the folk music of the sixties there for the Rolling Stones, Beatles and such. His heart was broken more that once but his artistry shone after each... Solid Air plus twenty plenty moore.

And they asked for an Angel that could sing. Why did you say "Me" If you had kept quiet, maybe this heart might not be broken. But I'm happy you are in heaven, sharing your love and compassion with the people that would have missed your talent. I love and miss you John, with all my soul. Gaz

Do you remember the "Sols Arms" with the twat that we threw out? And me an you getting the bottle of gold watch off the guvnor? And him saying to me, "If he gets pissed and cant play I'm taking the coffers off you! You did. I did. And the boss got a punch in the earhole.
