BREAKING NEWS!

THE SOLID SILVER SIXTIES TOUR

"This tour for me was magic! I loved working with all of the other people on the shows, The Dakotas continue to amaze me, and Cynthia was sparkling every night - to my delight. The support from our fans was more than I could ever imagine. We had people come from as far away as Japan and Croatia to see our show; I was delighted to have the opportunity to meet so many.

I'd also like to thank the wonderful crews and photography teams that helped make this trip such a success....and a special thankyou to Ann Gwilliam and Joy Ryan , who work closely with Cynthia and myself, coordinating more things than I can list here, and accompanied us on most of our shows. Well done everyone! Looking forward to more of the same." John Walker June 19, 2009

My management team includes my wife Cynthia, Personal Representative Ann Gwilliam, Fan Club President Joy Ryan, and webmaster Jamie Anderson.

JOHN WALKER was destined to become a musical superstar and icon of the 60s Hollywood and London rock and roll scene. The combination of John’s musical abilities and drop-dead gorgeous looks proved irresistible to promoters, managers, agents and fans around the world. By the time he was eighteen, John had given guitar lessons to younger friends in his Calfornia neighbourhood – Carl Wilson, Brian Wilson, and David Marks – who practised their new surf music in John’s family garage, incorporating some of the guitar riffs John had taught them in their music and who went on to form The Beach Boys.

By nineteen, John was recording at the famed “Goldstar” Studios in Hollywood with Phil Spector and other hot new musicians and producers. During the early 60s, John and his bands were drawing huge crowds at the trendiest clubs in Hollywood with regular visits in the audience from The Rolling Stones, and other new rock bands who were checking out the California rock scene. Soon, John would be jamming every afternoon with Jimi Hendrix in Europe and modelling the latest London fashions, in Penthouse and other popular fan magazines.

In 1964, John Walker formed the legendary Walker Brothers in Hollywood, eventually replacing original drummer Al “Tiny” Schneider (who went on to tour with The Everly Brothers), with P.J Proby’s drummer, Gary Leeds. The band met with great success there before heading off to England in 1965 and producing chart topping hits such as the No.1s: “Make It Easy On Yourself ” and “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” and other classics – “My Ship Is Comin In” and “No Regrets”. John’s solo hits include “Annabella”, “Woman” and “Kentucky Woman”.

John and the other two Walker Brothers, Scott and Gary, toured extensively throughout Europe, Asia, and Australia, winning the hearts of many frenzied and devoted fans throughout the world. John and The Walker Brothers headlined shows with Jimi Hendrix (introducing Hendrix and his band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience to European crowds for the first time), Roy Orbison, Eric Clapton Cream, Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck, Lulu, Cat Stevens….the list goes on. He appeared on countless 60s television shows in America and Europe including “The Sandie Shaw Show”, “Shindig”, “Top Of the Pops” and “Beat Club”. John performed for the royal family at The Royal Variety Performance Show and has had a longstanding involvement with a variety of charitable causes in the US and in Europe, particularly those for children.

In the 70s, John turned his attention to the recording process and now has his own recording / mixing / and mastering studio. He is a sought after consultant for upcoming bands, solo performers and recording / studio technicians. He formed his own label – “Arena” – in the mid - 90s.

Apart from his well - known vocals, John is a critically acclaimed songwriter and a blistering blues/rock guitarist. His latest CD – “Just For You” – is scheduled for release in May 2007.

Coming up in 2007…..John Walker will be a featured artiste on the PBS “British Invasion” special, to air nationally on US television beginning in March . He will be back on tour in the UK, by popular demand,for another Solid Silver Sixties Tour from February 21st - April 29th, ending at the London Palladium. He will also be appearing in the UK and The Continent for several other shows in May, June and later in the year.
