WOW, solo performance to start the week off at Cowes IOW!!! Did this artist work hard with an excellent repertoire, soon had the crowd's attention for 90 minutes ending the set with George Ezra (paradise) which bought the whole place down, your welcome here anytime mate, this guy is well worth a visit to watch.

John played at my 30th this weekend and he was incredible! We had a big garden party and we picked quiet possibly the wettest weekend we possible could have! It chucked it down ALL day. But amazingly it didn’t stop John and he wowed the whole party. He just cracked on and turned what could of been a wash out in to an epic party! It literally felt like we were at Glastonbury!!! He was the WOW factor to my party and really made it so special. He even learnt my favourite Bastille song for the occasion to make it extra special. Would highly recommend John for any occasion where you want to have an epic time and lots of fun! Thanks so much John!
