This site is dedicated to the memory of 'Gentleman John the Earl of Saxophony'. John started out in a show band in Ireland and then travelled the world. He lived in Germany and Enfield in London all the while playing with the top musicians in the world. His final years were spent in his home land of Dublin under the shadow of the big alarm clock of Rathmines Town Hall. This site will reflect the regard he was held in by all who seen him live and experienced his music and charm. A true gent.
