            John’s 7th album features his regular live band throughout playing songs that are drawn from his concert repertoire. The styles, as ever, are diverse but are glued together by that band sound and the subject matter ranges through oceans, mountains and soil, children, parents, the present and the good old days, injustice, gold miners, climate change and stewardship. A strong feature are the harmonies from the 4 singers and the instrumentation is wide; Stephen Mynott - guitar, Les Woodley – double bass, mandolin, Andy Marr, cajon, percussion, Lynne Ward – recorder, whistles and John on a variety of instruments. Guests: Mario Price - violin, Ian Sainsbury - piano, Richard Hubbard - squeezebox.

                John’s 6th album, released in the spring of 2011, is a collection of songs inspired by and from John’s home area, the Waveney, Yare and Blyth Valleys. This eastern fringe of England is both naturally beautiful and industrial at the same time and the songs here, mostly original but with some traditional, aim to capture the atmosphere and some of the characters of the area. Probably his most folky album, simpler in its arrangements, nevertheless still features the violin excellence of Mario Price and other guest musicians on some of the tracks, most notably, Ian Sainsbury on piano and John’s wife Lynne on harmonies. The 14 tracks include live favourites such as Stornoway to Lowestoft, Dunwich (The Lost City), Yarmouth Town and Ashore. The 8- page booklet contains all the lyrics.

                  Recorded in stages between late 2006 and early 2008, it contains 14 songs written by John that touch on a mixture of themes, from his travels in America and Europe, fatherhood and his experiences as a gigging musician. Bound Together concerns the fragility of our unique planet, while Praying For The Alien is a wry comment on the humanity that binds us, not what sets us apart. Mario Price plays oustanding violin as ever and Ian Sainsbury's piano is once again stunning and subtle. Other fine musicians contribute to the very acoustic, slightly simpler sound than the previous album Common Ground. There is also a Hungarian instrumental which has become a strong favourite of John and Mario's live performances

The album comprises a variety of musical styles (folk rock, eastern European, country), textures and tempos his audience have come to expect with sophisticated arrangements and great playing from the band.

                      Waking Dreams was recorded between April and October 1998 and has a more mainstream feel than the previous 2 albums, while still maintaining a strong acoustic sound. Many of the tracks feature a band of outstanding musicians in their own right. The songs were written over a number of years and were selected for their popularity at gigs and for their ability to enhance the general thread of the album. The album has a very wide variety of styles and moods, and is therefore difficult to categorise.

                        Water On The Stone, released in 1992, was recorded using entirely acoustic instrumentation and sounds featuring guitars, double bass, violin, hurdy gurdy, bodhran and piano. While maintaining some of the simplicity of The Shrinking World, its arrangements are nevertheless more complex. Several of the songs are still favourites of John's live set.

                          John's first album, released in 1988, has a very folky feel. Several of the songs feature John solo with his acoustic guitar and are journalistic in content, dealing with the issues of the time. Other tracks have piano, percussion and John on bass guitar. It is currently only available on vinyl - currently back in fashion.

                            Shipyards, the song that John contributed to this compilation album, was written about the demise of the shipyards in his hometown and based on the experiences of an acquaintance who worked in them. The track features John and Mario Price and all proceeds of the sales of the album go to the Liverpool Dockers' Hardship Fund.

At over 9,000 words, the book takes the reader on a journey through various periods in the town’s history. Drawing on real events as well as imagination, the narrative weaves together characters and landscapes from different ages to form a magical vision of the town’s past and present.
