John's current diverse interests include jazz, gigs, groove, reggae, jazz, singing, composing, arranging, swing, jazz, Chomsky, Palestine and jazz.
John read Music at Caius College, and was a member of Caius Choir, 1997-2000. Subsequently he took a year's jazz course at the Guildhall School of Music, London. He began to find the pull of Caius College overwhelming, and soon returned there to study for a PGCE, which forced him to confront both himself and reality. He subsequently ditched teaching for gigging, and is to be found 'on the scenes'.
