Verified profile

I have a song list of many hundreds, and six albums of my own stuff - more on the way. I started playing guitar when I was five, in 1965, which clues you into my core repertoire- but I am always learning new songs and experimenting with covers, so I can share them in my way. Extra info: I was Ian Broudie on Stars in their Eyes in 1999. My second job is working as an extra in TV and film.

John's Reviews

4.8 out of 5

John played at an afternoon garden pub party we had organised to celebrate the life of my Dad. We wanted some live music to provide a nice atmosphere and requested music from my dads era 60/70s. John pitched it perfectly in terms of volume and the songs he played. The music and singing were excellent, and he took some song requests from the party attendees. Afterwards he stayed for a drink and chatted to our guests for a bit. Highly recommend.

John played two excellent sets. Everyone enjoyed the music. We choose some of the songs and he played them really well. John was perfect for my 60th birthday party!

John Eyre brings a captivating blend of technical prowess and raw emotion to every performance at The Foundry. His mastery of the guitar leaves audiences in awe, making each show an unforgettable experience. A true local gem, John's music is a must-hear for any live music enthusiast.

We have had John play over the Brecon Jazz many times, and we always enjoy the huge variety of songs he brings! He has a voice similar to James Taylor, which is light but upbeat, and he sings a mixture of pop, rock, country and chart hits from the present day back to the rock and roll era. We like his own material too, which is quirky folk. We would strongly recommend him .
