Band Members: As some of you will know we have recently started a new project that is playing all the old JJN faves as well as lots of new wicked material. All the shows we are playing are as the new band and we are called The Velvet Hearts. Check out www.myspace.com/thevelvethearts for the very latest demos and gig information.
Influences: I suppose the biggest influence on my music is my dad. He fronts a band called The Marmalade who had some big hits in the 60's. I grew up with music in the house all the time and it's in my blood without a doubt. I can't really give you a list of the stuff I like because it would be too long, but I try not to limit the type of music I listen to, good tunes can come from anywhere and everywhere!
Sounds Like: We have re-launched www.johnjamesnewman.co.uk and you should really go and check it out. There is now 45 minutes of free downloads, loads of pictures and gig news and reviews as well as a full forum. CHECK IT OUT TODAY!
