Band Info

John was born in Ilford, Essex in 1948. He started playing banjo but switched to double bass shortly after. For many years he played with the Blackbottom Stompers. He also plays sousaphone with the Excelsior New Orleans Brass Band. He collects memorabilia from the 1920's particularly gramophone records and 78 rpm jazz recordings. He recognises the help and encouragement he received from John Arthy of the Pasadena Roof Light Orchestra and being strongly influenced by 'Pops' Foster. He has an infectious sense of humour, which coupled with the big sound, and driving beat makes him a tremendous asset to any band.
