Les Woodley (double bass and mandolin) and Lynne Ward (accordion and whistles) join forces with John to bring a fuller sound to his moving and thought-provoking songs, which capture the spirit of the times we live in and reflect his life in a tough and gritty East Anglian fishing port that has seen more than its fair share of social change and decline. With powerful 3-part harmonies, John’s show-stopping bodhran playing and accomplished guitar work, the trio’s performances are authentic and from the heart. “The best trad folk music set I have ever seen. Literally.’ Attila the Stockbroker ‘His song writing abilities impress from the word go’ Rock n Reel ‘A Songwriter of maturity and depth’ – Time Out ‘ .. powerful tales … canny depictions’ Living Tradition
