The songs and stories cover many aspects of life war,love,family,dumbing down,poverty
and even the music business! The show can range from soft and deep to powerful and
evocative from singer/songwriter to a one man Pink Floyd. Combine this with John's sense
of humour (well he is from Liverpool!) and you have the recipe for a great evenings entertainment.
The concert will appeal to an eclectic audience who thrive on original intelligent music.
Although the concert is not acoustic it has been well proven in venues from house concerts upwards.

News: John has just been voted the best (indie) male singer by the Progressive Rock Hall of Fame for 2008
