Born in London, John self taught on national steel slide guitar, banjo and harmonica and was heavily influenced by Howlin’ Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Bukka White, John Hammond, Mississippi Fred McDowell amongst others. John is one of those idiosyncratic British musicians who have taken a musical form—blues—and adapted and evolved it into their own peculiar voice. John’s playing is an eclectic mix of flamenco, West-African ju-ju slide and country blues. Layered over this is John’s gritty, growled minimal vocal and harmonica playing which avoids blues stereotypes and harmonically adds to the range of the music creating a big sound—he does about four jobs at once, pounding a foot on his stomp box, playing guitar like a demon, blowing up a frenzy on the harmonica whilst growling out those tough lyrics. A class act not to be missed!!
