I never knew John personally but knew him for the great drummer that he was. I was reminder just how good he was with the re-release of the Nutz albums and was very sad to read about his passing. I was lucky enough to see Nutz and Rage live, and I was always transfixed watching John do his magic.
May he RIP
I didn't know him that well but that's probably the point as almost 40 yrs later I still remember him well, that smile, the great humour, a charm of a man!!
God Bless you John!
I never spoke to John or knew him but I knew of him.I remember seeing him in the Wilsons with his girlfriend.And I remember her wearing a Carrere Records t shirt. He just looked the rock star.Shame what happened to hm and his girlfriend. Me and me mate was at the opening night of Mylo's rock club.Dave Lloyd etc played that night. I remember talking to the guitarist of another Liverpool rock band called "Firing Squad",that night.
R.I.P. John.

Happy Birthday John wherever you are ~ I know you will always remember all the people who to this day, remember you with the fondness and affection you radiated so naturally amongst those that had the good fortune to meet you. You'll already know by the passing years, that everyone you knew, at some point, will and do stop to share a thought about you either within themselves or with others. Lets hope that one day we all do get to meet old friends again, friends who departed this mortal coil before the rest of us who are still missed by all...All the best John...
So glad you remember my cousin, John, on his birthday, November 27. This means so much to his family, and Dave, are you in Liverpool? I remember when you came to Pacific Grove. The best to all of you who share the memories. Norma
Brilliant Drummer taken far too soon. Bet he never knew I used his snare as a timbale once when recording at Amazon! makes up for Nutz stealing our guitarist!!!
Saw him with Nutz many times, and chatted to him a couple of times......Didn't personally know Mylo, but friends over in Liverpool did, and always had good things to say about the guy.......still missed, as this site is testament to....
I knew John at scholl,although he was a bit younger..and then knew him as one of the evil mob with the Mull,Lloydy etc...a fine guy and an even finer drummer!
John was a superb drummer with an equally superb personality we all miss him...my story was when we were recording in Amazon he brought his camera to take pictures of us recording when he finished after a few pints of Newcastle Brown he confessed there was no film in the camera! What a wonderful guy RIP John
I remember John at the bar in Nightriders surrounded by loads of girls as usual and many of us trying to talk to him as he was so popular as well as being the best all round drummer he had a brilliant personality. I asked him for some advice on the drums and he arranged to come round to mine and show me how to play certain rhythms he was amazing! Sadly miss you John you were the best

I've no idea how many times is saw John with The Rubbers at the Star And Garter, the Wilson's and the Cumberland, but the enduring image I have of John comes from a show my band did supporting Rage during their run of "a month of Sundays" at the Warehouse in Fleet Street in 1982. We were shite, they were great - as usual - but I'm still traumatised by the sight of John wandering round backstage with his kecks round his ankles, looking for bog roll as the dressing room khazi had run out...
