Johnny had a difficult start in life. He was a Barnardo's boy, and by dint of hard work and pure talent, he has made himself a much loved, and very talented performer.
I have seen him in many guises over the years, including his stint on TV as a presenter on Play School (Which window are we looking through today Johnny?) To a much loved regular headliner, at Skagen Festival in Denmark.
John you're a star, and a much loved and long standing friend.

I first met Johnny some 50+ years ago when he entertained the diners (and we drinkers)at the Belfry, Sutton Coldfield, now famous for its golf. Many happy memories of that time and seeing him at various sessions in the years since. A wonderful man, a great entertainer - such sad news.

Berit, John's wife has said on facebook that Johnny is very weak and is going into their local hospice . You can read her post and leave messages for her, Johnny and Patrick on the Face book group set up for him.Sometines FB can be a pain but at times like this can bring a great deal of comfort.

Hi folks,
just received word from John James this morning that Silvo has departed for the great folk club in the sky, and even as you read this is probably having a right old rave up with Diz and the rest of the gang.
Safe journey Johnny, and thanks for everything.

Best wishes to all,
Dave (Brillo)
