About John Dawson Read

A long time ago... back in 1975, I released my first album on Chrysalis records.. 'A Friend of Mine is going Blind' rapidly followed in 1976 by 'Read On' also on Chrysalis. From then on things went a bit quiet.... I still wrote. did well in a couple on International Fesivals in Poland and Turkey, had a few songs covered by other artists (including Cliff Richard)... even won 'BASCA composer of the year' in 1986 at the Cavan song festival. But it is the internet which has allowed me to dip my toes in the water again - I am amazed at the number of visits I am getting on the website from both 'old faithfulls' from the early days and a few friends in the making. And now, 'Now ...Where were we?' ties up a few loose ends with songs I had always wanted to put on the earlier albums... and 'Rough Cuts' is, as it says, a collection of songs which, although basic, I hope are worthy of being heard. I am still writing, still popping into the studio from time to time, and still looking forward to the future with enormous optimism.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

Ben	Nov 16 2008 3:34 PM Hi John,how the devil are you? Isnt it funny that one day you say to yourself 'I must drop John a line' and then 6 months later you remember. Life is all too fast paced at present. Im much prefer revolving at around 33 rpm but life seems to dictate a different speed. All are well and the artist is as busy as ever,planning some new exhibitions. How are things with you?
Jo Stevens	Oct 31 2008 1:10 PM HI John! how are you? so glad you like - Take Me Home - really kind of you to say so- means a lot coming from you! hope all's well jo xxx
Abe	Sep 22 2008 3:45 AM How wonderful to find you after so many years. I have so many fond memories of the 70's with your music being a beautiful part of it. I so glad to know you've decided to keep at it. Cheers.
Ben	Aug 25 2008 3:17 PM John,how the devil are you? Im just back from china,what a part of the world it is, if you want to be scared and amazed all at once,hope you are keeping well these days.
