Did he not bring his guitar along WLD? Pity - he is good with that as well. We have him on at our club regularly and he dances for various morris teams I have some association with. I like to consider him a friend. I am sure he would not mind me saying that in the last couple of years he has come on in leaps and bounds as he now has much more time to concentrate on his music. It was a real drag when I had to leave halfway though his last show because I needed to set of for Newcastle at some ridiculous hour the next morning:-(

I must say I quite like the brief introductions and lack of 'patter'. His songs usualy tell their own stories and his talent at performing them is as much as he needs realy. I am sure that if anyones introduction to traditional music was through John they would be hooked straight away and I only wish that the media would would portray traditional arts and artists like John rather than the stereotype village idiot they usualy show!

I'm jelous of his hair and beard as well:-)

Cheers

Dave
