23.August 2010 um 13:19Uhr «I'm almost lost for words...I spent three happy years with Chris and the band on the road, the whole experience was enhanced by John's presence both musically and personally. He was the complete professional, immaculate in every sense.he had a great sense of humour and a turn of phrase and genuine wit that was unique.
Sometimes after the soundcheck when the rest of the guys had left the stage,John would start playing a blues riff that John Sutton and I couldn't resist joining in on, so we would Jam for another 15 minutes or so.John's playing knocked me out in those moments he was a hell of a blues player.
I spoke to him on the day before his birthday and he was full of spirit and good humour in fact we ended up having a great laugh on the phone.
John was a very modest man never one to push himself into the limelight.I'll always be grateful that I had the opportunity to know him and share his company.
John used to say the last two words to me every night after the gig so I'd like to return them now with love "Thanks Mate".

22.August 2010 um 23:35Uhr «Well, that news sucks.
John Crocker put it brilliantly: "In truth he was someone who made traditional jazz fans realise how much they loved the Blues."
Put me in that camp. I remember sitting in the front row at Fairfield Halls watching him perform a blues with Ottillie that has never (to the best of my knowledge) been released. It was, quite simply, awesome.
He'll be missed by a lot of people.

I remember all the good time we had together
when John was on tour with Chris Barber in
Germany and Switzerland. He will remain in my
thoughts.

21.August 2010 um 15:35Uhr «When we spoke to John the other day we enjoyed many amusing reminiscences of our time together in the Barber band. Such was his positive attitude that when we heard the sad news it was all the more difficult to comprehend. It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to a wonderful friend and someone who gave such pleasure to all who were fortunate to hear him play in all parts of the world. In truth he was someone who made traditional jazz fans realise how much they loved the Blues. Fondest love to Brigitta, 'his girls' and their families and our thoughts are with you all at this sad time. We hope you take comfort from all the fond messages shown here.
