ABOUT JOHN HUMPHREYS
John is the newest recruit in Jigabit and so far, also the youngest - but
he is catching up fast. Having played several instruments for many years
and in many bands, he has now found a band in which he can play most of
them - providing he leaves the bagpipes at home. . . .
Although he is only 27, a stint playing in a bar in Thailand has taken its
toll and now,
on a bad day he can be mistaken for someone pushing 30.
John has played banjo and mandolin in a bluegrass band, fiddle in a Cajun band and guitar in a Blues band. His interest in the music of the British Isles began when he met his current wife, a harpist, singer and consumer of single malts.
Thanks to his love of good ales, John has become a well-rounded musician
and if you buy him a pint, he will be glad to tell you of his time in the
RAF when, during a trip to America, he played with a country band in Las
Vegas. Pull up a sandbag...........
