JOHN FORD BIO:
As a British singer, songwriter, guitarist, bass player, producer and recording artist, John Ford’s talent has made an enduring impact in music through the years.

Rex, Blue Oyster Cult, ZZ Top, RUSH, REO Speedwagon, King Crimson, Lynyrd Skynrd, Billy Preston, Cat Stevens, Roy Harper, Ian Lloyd (Stories) and many more! John Ford also performed with Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night in Blackmore’s Night and appears on “Wind in the Willows,” on Under a Violet Moon CD.
Ford, a teen heartthrob, wrote his first hit, “Mistletoe Love,” as bassist, singer and songwriter for Jaymes Fenda and the Vulcans on Parlophone Records, John Ford went on to join Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera (aka Velvet Opera), who opened regularly and at times, mistaken for Pink Floyd on the UK club circuit.
Ford’s unusual percussive style of bass playing caught the eye of Strawbs leader, Dave Cousins, with Ford joining Strawbs in May 1970. The Strawbs, primarily known as a Folk Rock group, with John Ford''s influence, shifted easily into the Prog Art Rock Scene, also included Rick Wakeman, on synth/keyboards (later replaced by Blue Weaver). John penned the Strawbs biggest hits, “Heavy Disguise,” and “Part of the Union,” a UK Top of the Pops Chart Hit at #2, on Bursting At The Seams, spending 59 weeks on the UK Album and Single charts. Popular worldwide, and still a favourite with Union workers to this day. Produced by Tony Visconti for A&M. John Ford has received a Platinum and three Gold Records, in addition to an Ivor Novello Award for his songwriting achievements through the years.

In 1979, John Ford formed The Monks; a British punk rock band signed with EMI, and back on the Charts again with surprise hits, “Nice Legs Shame About The Face” from Bad Habits, followed by Suspended Animation with both Album and Single going Gold. Ford also satisfied his penchant for 30s style music as founding member and
songwriter of the band, High Society, before relocating to the US in mid 80s. John has reunited with the Strawbs for UK Tours in the 80s, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2006 and the September 2009 Strawbs Anniversary Weekend at Twickenham Rugby Stadium which also included Rick Wakeman, original UK Electric Line-up keyboardist in London which filmed and recorded for CD/DVD release later this year. Also in 2009, John was awarded Best Indie Rock Artist of the Year by the Progressive Rock Hall of Fame.
