FREE DOWNLOADS !!!
Just click on this link.......
John Young FREE!
Well ...I've decided (after much thought) to join the free download society as perhaps by giving my music away more people will get to hear what I do and that in turn might lead to a greater awareness of all things JY and JYB.
You can download 10 CD's worth of material by the CD or by track.
It's easy you just join WE7 (it's free & sponsored by Mr P Gabriel) and start downloading:-) That said all the CD's are still available for sale including JYB Live which will not be appearing on WE7 just yet:-)
WE7 are a wunnerful little organisation and I fully recommend them to any musicians out there who would like to be heard.
Of course for those of you who would like to make a contribution to the cause (and yes I am a full time musician for my sins!) I've included a button below where donations may be made, and for which I thank you:-)
Free Downloads! Free Gigs! how do we survive...well these help:-)
DONATIONS
SHOWS
I've decided to make it a little easier..... Just e-mail me at:
