I am now making music in various projects. As a solo artist (and duo with pianist / guitarist Ant McBride) I ply my trade as a singer / songwriter or covers act depending on the demands of the promoter - more usually a mixture of both. Here I go under the guise of QJB. I am constantly trying to form a stable band to deliver the same material and have had various drummers and other musicians. For that I am now going under the name of John Burton and the Burdens. I also play occasional one-off shows with a bunch of old friends including Michael, Adrian, Nick Moore and Stuart Chalmers. These are usually called No Prima Donnas. Additionally there is the Songs of Katrina project which collects songs and covers about natural disasters. There's an album of the same name inspired by the terrible hurricane in 2005 which hit New Orleans. Why so many names? Well ... a bit of history and backgtround may help explain.

My latest project is with Bristol singer / songwriters Doc Satori and
