Behind the Scenes
John is married. He and his wife, Joanne, now live in the North Wales countryside having moved from his home city of Liverpool. Joanne runs her own successful entertainment agency www.speaksvolumes.co.uk
Together, they live in a 200 year old barn conversion where they like nothing better than when their neighbour Neil walks their beautiful Golden Retriever - Libby.
Johnis an avid collector and reader of non-fiction books, and his big hobby is military history. He is an expert on The Battle of the Little Bighorn. He was commissioned by BBC Radio to write and present a half-hour special on the true story of the event.
He is a life member of The Custer Battlefield Historical and Museum Association, a member of The Little Big Horn Association, and a founder member of the Custer Association of Great Britain. John is also an expert on Operation Anthropoid (1942), which he has spoken on television about, written articles about, and often lectures on this subject.
In June 2006, John received a medal from the Czech Army Veterans for his research into Operation Anthropoid, and a further medal from the Slovak Army Veterans the following year.
In 2009, John's book on the subject was published and is now for sale. The book is called "The Mirror Caught The Sun". (click on Book Available button on left hand side)
John is in love with comedy. For the past nine years, he has organised and hosted Comedy Weekends up and down the country. This has been so successful that John has now built up a following of regular and loyal guests who repeatedly book each year, and his next one takes place in October.
