john's songwriting
John's songwriting journey started in 2003 following a week long workshop with the acclaimed songwriter, Harvey Andrews. Since that time he has written many fine songs, sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, they usually reflect his observations around the Yorkshire area, together with songs of a biographical nature.
These topics inspired John's first album: Love, Lives and Landscape in 2008 which was followed in 2010 by a second album: Storey Lines. Each track is carefully crafted with intelligent lyrics, tells a story and has an easy going catchy melody. John's 3rd album, "More storey lines" is now available via this website contact page, and will be available from iTunes etc, shortly.
John provides a melodic guitar accompaniment to his songs which often have easily learned choruses aimed at audience participation.
