This brilliant lyricist and performer of heartfelt music reaches my DNA with every spin of so many of his recorded verses. I'm picking up vibes that this unassuming genius never actually realised just how special he was and just how deep the impact of his songs enriched otherwise dull lives. Not sure who actually owns the copyright of Johns back catalogue mostly on his own cottage records label so it may well be him or if he has found a more responsive and appreciative audience upstairs so a family member may pick up the mantle . With this thought in mind how wonderful to contemplate a COLLECTIVE VERSE compilation cd / hi def bitrate download . For its only by blowing the cobwebs of Johns considerable legacy that the unenlightened can also appreciate his wonderful talent and also like me eulogise . Contacted John via a YT post some years ago bestowing the virtues of Photographs being released on cd , a week later he had sent me a copy without charge , I love you mr Golding thanks for nourishing an impoverished life through your songs . respectfully lol bishop aka macman.mac manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16534631409838208143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661724268174147724.post-42825563597747107872020-12-01T04:15:10.318-08:002020-12-01T04:15:10.318-08:00Hi Fay, What a great story, I do hope John sees th...Hi Fay, What a great story, I do hope John sees this. I will add it to the main post to make it more visible. I have no idea where John is now but I had a look at your website and the video - amazing, well done and thanks for sharing your story with us. If John does turn up here I will draw his attention to your comment for sure.

When I was eighteen... 1966, Abingdon folk club, I bought a record, Discarded verse. I had no expectation of ever becoming an entertainer, but I liked his work as a regular punter. Roll forward in 1988, now forty I did enter the world of 'Show Biz'. I thought the world of entertainment would solve some deeply personal conflicts, and indeed it did but there were rough times to get through and 'Bad Gigs' was so true. As a magician I have since performed around the world. Patty Clapton booked me for Eric's 40th Birthday. In the garden at Buckingham Palace Paul McCartney hailed me as a genius, at Stings Wedding Billy Connelly thought I might be a good opener for his shows, Diana was a fan and all the time discarded verse was on my i-tunes among the songs that kept me going. Thank you john wherever you are..Fay Prestohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462512792452142064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661724268174147724.post-78478967073116204852020-11-04T15:02:13.071-08:002020-11-04T15:02:13.071-08:00Sorry, I don't have a contact for John, haven&...Sorry, I don't have a contact for John, haven't seen him since the 70's.

I love the songs and think JG was one of the best singer songwriters of the time. Does anyone know if I can get hold of the CD?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897958163966765191noreply@blogger.com
