| Comment / History:- |
Johns unique voice and music style played a significant part in the popularity of Radio Kaleidoscope during the late 1960s. A lot of underground music was bubbling to the surface thanks to radio stations like Radio Caroline.
Pop festivals began in Bath, and on the Isle of Wight, supporting major bands like Led Zeppelin & Jimmy Hendrix, and these were just a few of the many artists that John enjoyed playing during his shows. John would also drag us to visit other places like the Round House at Chalk Farm where Pink Floyd often played. All this provided Radio Kaleidoscope listeners with a true cross section of music from that very popular 1960s era.
John is still in touch with us today and can be reached via this website.
