Details:
John was born in 1959 and raised in the Everton area of Liverpool. At the age of 22 he began to play music full time and was one half of the duo Groundpig who played the Liverpool pub circuit and beyond for over 25 years.

Johnâs musical influences are routed in acoustic, folk and classical guitar. His major influences are Stefan Grossman (ragtime guitar) Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and Martin Carthy, and anything that presents itself in acoustic fingerstyle guitar.

In order for John to continue making a living he had to stray from this path and play what would be considered a more popular style of acoustic music, i.e. Paul Simon, Lindisfarne, James Taylor, Neil Young and Bob Dylan. However, John silently wrote a number of songs which you can find in all their glory on this Album - The urban Troubadour.
