On TV he has appeared in shows such as Toast of Tinseltown, The Bill and Scott and Bailey.
John is an accomplished concert performer, playing many solo headline shows around the UK and abroad and has appeared as a guest performer in concert globally in such venues as The Royal Albert Hall in London, Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Tokyo, the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall in New York. In 2022 he completed his first UK solo concert tour culminating with a sellout show in the West End at Her Majesty’s Theatre.
