| John Meed: General Info
|
| Member Since | 3/3/2007 | | Band Website | johnmeed.net | | Band Members |
I either perform solo or in a duo with guitarist Lester Lloyd Reason (who plays on The last bus to Leeds and Rocks and stones on this page). I have also had the priviledge to work with some other great artists including singers Christene LeDoux, Amanda Hall, Sandra O'Neill, Lizzie Taylor and Dave Streatfield, guitarist Jim Gosney and violinist Lis Wilson. | | Influences | My song writing is influenced by many of the artists I have listened to over the years, including Christy Moore, John Lennon, Ray Davies, Eric Bogle, Bruce Springsteen and Roy Harper. Eric B had the kindness to say of Children of the sea ‘Good honest songs John.’ | | Sounds Like | Some very kind comments on my music include:
‘John Meed’s beautifully melodic heartfelt songs range across war, the world, injustice and love.’ (From review at www.wereallneighbours.co.uk)
‘Thanks so much for contributing in a big way to what was another very buzzy night at the Club. Thanks especially for bringing in such a great audience.’ (Marion Treby, Cambridge Folk Club) | | Type of Label | Major |

| About John Meed |
|
I was born in Manchester and my parents moved out to Rochdale, Lancashire (which Spotland Road is about) when I was about two. We lived there until I was coming up to 10, when we moved to what is now Milton Keynes. I studied in Leeds (missing the last bus home too often) and have for most of the time since lived and worked in Cambridge, UK. I began playing guitar and piano in my teens and started writing songs soon afterwards. I released my first CD, The children of the sea, in December 2005, and my second CD, Powder of the Stars, in January 2007.
