It's full steam ahead with my UK concert dates again now, I'm so looking forward to playing all over the country again this year, and I've just had a great trip to Scotland which was very enjoyable. Full details of all my forthcoming shows are on the date list page - new dates being added all the time!

Last year was another very busy year, travelling round the country performing on theatre organs and at keyboard festivals. Highlights included taking part in the Blackpool festival in May, the Cinema Organ Society's Northern Convention in August, and a wonderful visit to Folly Farm near Tenby in September, not to mention my summer season and Christmas shows.

Price is £10, plus £1.25 for postage and packing, cheques to be made payable to John Mann. Why not treat yourself?!

Don't forget that the DVD I made at the State,Kilburn, which was a best seller for Valentine Music, is still available.
