All the best, Alister Atkin.John Smith is a guitar man from Devon, quietly becoming recognised as one of British Folk's most exciting voices, from both his sold-out solo shows and support slots for the likes of John Renbourn and John Martyn. His songs of false messiahs, weird romance and bloody murder sit on top of his acoustic guitar, whose sound he bends and whose body he hits. www.johnsmithjohnsmith.com
