John has written a number of songs with a 'country' feel to them and at the moment he is busy fine tuning them in his recording studio out in California.
Last year John flew to Berlin with his wife Cynthia and manager, David Oddie, to take part in the recording of a programme called 'Hit Giganten,' which is a well established and successful show on national channel Sat1, with it's presenter Hugo Egon Balder. John, backed by Cynthia, sang his newly recorded version of 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore,' whilst other 60s artistes performed their big hits too. The Fortunes was one of those acts to appear and sadly happened to be one of the last Rod Allen performed before he was taken ill. The broadcast date for this show takes place sometime in March/ April and will be posted here, just as soon as it is known. A recording of the show has been promised by the TV company too.
A DVD is in the pipe-line of a number of the concerts John took part in last year, with The Dakotas and it is hoped that this will soon become available.
Wayne from the Zone Radio station is working on a couple of special programmes featuring John and the dates for these will be announced here just as soon as they are released.
Negotiations are in place for John to take part in a number of 'live' performances in Northern Europe towards the end of this year and these too will be reported here.

John and Cynthia were delighted to be guests of honour at The Variety Club Of Scotland's Annual Dinner and Fundraiser at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow on Saturday November 24th to help sick, disabled and disadvantaged children.
It was a fun packed evening with prestigious guests being piped to their seats, John and Cynthia included. A huge amount of money was raised that night in a multitude of ways including an auction which in itself raised many thousands of pounds for the Club and therefore the children.
The Variety Club aims to provide sunshine coaches, electric wheelchairs, outings to exciting places, equipment for children's hospitals and help in so many other ways, all made possible because volunteers from many walks of life give generously of their time and money, supported by a galaxy of celebrities from showbusiness and sport.
John and Cynthia were proud to be associated with such an important and worthwhile cause and it is their intention to help again, whenever the opportunity arises.
