John is an antique dealer by day and a trombone playing rockstar by night. He's done everything in life from fishing to gold mining and decided in his 40's to learn to play the trombone. After attending 'Dartington School of Rock', he taught himself to play trombone bought from an auction and knew he wanted to get a band together. JP founded the band in 2005 and has been playing with the Cannons ever since. One of his favourite songs to play is 'Uptown Funk' because it always gets the crowd dancing. When he's not playing trombone, he'll be listening to Mariachi music after years spent living in Mexico. He likes to have fun at gigs and you'll often find him down in the crowd after a few Henry Westons'!

We were at Harry and Louise's wedding last night and I wanted to say how much we loved your amazing performance. We could have danced all night!

You played with huge talent, energy, humour and a love for what you were doing, which inspired us to get down and boogie big time!

What a fantastic night we all had thanks to the Loose Cannons. Great variety of songs and interesting arrangements (loved the speeded up version of A-ha's Take On Me).

I hope we'll hear you play again sometime. Good luck and well done on a great gig last night.
