Jon Orpheus (long term pseudonym) returned to the NW music scene in 1990 when he became promoter and dj at the now legendary 'Shack' in his then home town Oldham. He formed a band 'Gouranga' that never left the rehearsal room before splitting up and later had a spell in the band 'Boom Mantra' which enjoyed just one, albeit well received gig at the Witchwood in Ashton-under-Lyne.
Formed psyche-folk band 'Dove-Stone' with Helena Rainbow, Steve Love and David Jenkinson in 2000. Following Dove-Stone's split the following year Jon and Helena continued as a duo awhile before Helena took a break to get into motherhood again.
Orph continued to hone his skills at a number of plug-in acoustic nights and folk clubs in the East Manchester area whilst also learning production skills on the hoof when making his first solo album 'Multidimensional Orpheus'.
In late 1999 Orph teamed up with long time friend and multi-talented musician LS Dean to form 'Electronic Voice Phenomena'. Work on this project has been ongoing since then, four albums on and a fifth in the pipeline, EVP have honed their skills to great critical aclaim and have been likened by reviewers to all time greats like Pink Floyd, The Orb, Steve Hillage and Shpongle.
At the beginning of 2007 in his 50th year on Earth, Orph began a new promotion hosting 'Acoustic Eclectic' held every Wednesday at Q Inn in Stalybridge, Cheshire. The weekly gig has attracted a large number of quality local musicians and a good size crowd with a second weekly night 'Eclectic Live' started in October at the famous Witchwood venue. Problems at the venue meant a rethink and Eclectic Live is set for relaunch on Saturday 2nd February at a new venue 'The Grotton In The Hollow' in Oldham.
Orph and Helena again worked together in the band "In The Hills" along with percussionist Iain 'RedHat' Taylor - and several gigs were successfully played, not least at the main stage at The Northern Green Gathering in August 2007 with an expanded line up.
January 2008 and Orph began a new musical project 'GhostSong' and after completing an album 'Haunted' with much assistance from long time compadre LS Dean and then formed a live band which by mid 2009, with a good number of gigs behind them has become a settled line up with Jon being joined by Helena Rainbow (vocals & percusiion), Steve Winstanley, (bass, guitar, mandolin), Mike Mellor (guitar & bass), Robin Bowles (keyboards) and Dee Mishka (percussion).
With Acoustic Eclectic still going strong, Orph has also teamed up with Mike Mellor to start a monthly night called '2nd Thursday Live' held at Mossley AFC Social Club.

I left a lil' note with Acoustic Eclectic (oh this is Tom, by the way - we played for you just over a year ago as Benway Miasma, and apart from freezing our janglies off (you'd had the brainwave to stage the thing outside!) we had one of our best nights there)
We really need a bassist and was wondering with all the folk you meet if you knew of anyone??
The FOURTH day of JULY, 2009, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of JABEZ CLEGG. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to THE BARREL. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
