A thoroughly deserved award for a superb musician & songwriter. His work with the Shadows and MWF are well known, but his production and musicianship on Olivia NJ's albums was immense as well as many others. Congrats John!

John was one third and one quarter respectively of the group(s) that produced my favourite albums of all time.

An incredibly talented man who deserves every bit of recognition that he gets - and much more besides.
