John Howarth MUSIC

Welcome to my MUSIC and song page. 
After a lifetime of sharing and playing others' music, I decided to share mine with anyone who wants to hear it.
I've been playing since I was six; starting on an old family piano, learning guitar and playing bass in my first band at fifteen. We played covers and opened up for famous bands, like Manfred Mann, the Hollies, the Yard birds, Rolling Stones etc. I started to write back then, around 1963-'66.
I got back into playing in public in 1970 and played various bands; and as resident Organist. I 'gave up my day job' in '75 and toured Europe and UK with a famous pop band. I didn't write seriously until the 80s and then again in 2002, when I began co-writing and recording songs. We posted them on a website and had a few published and after a trip to Nashville in 2005, I decided to move to Georgia, US. After a lifetime of experiences, incl TV and radio music, I play and write in many genres, so please come back if the first song isn't your taste.
