The Spiel
One of the most consistent performers on the blues rock circuit today. Originally from West Yorkshire John moved to Florida where he supported artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Mountain and Janis Joplin and many others before returning to the UK taking a somewhat different direction fronting Argent. When Argent disbanded John spent time primarily in the studio producing, recording and guesting with Ringo Starr, The Zombies, Smokie, Charlie, Motorhead and Saxon to name just a few however, performing live was always the driving force for JV and these days it's always easy to find him out on the road with his own band and playing his own material.
