Johnny-on-keys

ABOUT

Self-taught keys player who has played in rock covers bands (everything from Dire Straits to Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd to Adele to One Republic), an 80s electronic band (Gary Numan to Bowie and Talking Heads to Joy Division/New Order, Pulp, Tears For Fears, Flock of Seagulls) and, more recently, Muse tribute band BeMUSEd.

Last year I joined Midlands-based covers band The Negatives - it’s got an eclectic set list but is a great party band!

I started gigging just over four years ago but have been playing at home for a few years before that.
I love the buzz of gigging!
Own kit/rig (two/three keyboards) and amps.
Oh yeah, I use my own media company for PR, marketing and promotion - but can also make this experience available to other bands.
