Speaking with John revealed his tenacity, strength and courage to explore China, connect with the culture and find a way to reach others through his performances in many different provinces. Though the language can be a barrier for many foreigners, John was able to supersede this drawing upon his Seanchai. His songs are direct, poignant and moving.

As you know, I normally interview other artists and producers for my show but this next pod is a special one with selected tracks shared about my time working with Graeme Holdaway.
