Hire John for touring or a one-off show
I love live gigs, and playing music on stage with other people is one of the places where I feel most at home.
I've filled in for lots of different bands and artists, and I play in some of my own projects as well (2 albums due this year), which can usually be found firmly in the box marked 'slightly weird'.
Check out the gear I have available for live work
The times between gigs I'm either in the studio doing remote sessions, recording & mixing or out on tour somewhere in the world as a production manager or tech.
