About Me |
|
| I was born in Manchester and my parents moved out to Rochdale, Lancashire (which Spotland Road is about) when I was about two. We lived there until I was coming up to 10, when we moved to what is now Milton Keynes. I studied in Leeds (missing the last bus home too often) and have for most of the time since lived and worked in Cambridge, UK. I began playing guitar and piano in my teens and started writing songs soon afterwards. I released my first CD, The children of the sea, in December 2005, and my second CD, Powder of the Stars, in January 2007. | |
My Interests |
|
Music:Member Since: 3/3/2007Band Website: johnmeed.net Band Members: It's mainly me but I have the priviledge to work with some other great artists including singers Christene LeDoux, Amanda Hall, Sandra O'Neill, Lizzie Taylor and Dave Streatfield, guitarists Lester Lloyd-Reason and Jim Gosney and violinist Lis Wilson. Influences: My song writing is influenced by many of the artists I have listened to over the years, including Christy Moore, John Lennon, Ray Davies, Eric Bogle, Bruce Springsteen and Roy Harper. Eric B had the kindness to say of Children of the sea ‘Good honest songs John.’ Sounds Like: Some very kind comments on my music include: ‘John Meed’s beautifully melodic heartfelt songs range across war, the world, injustice and love.’ (From review at www.wereallneighbours.co.uk) ‘Thanks so much for contributing in a big way to what was another very buzzy night at the Club. Thanks especially for bringing in such a great audience.’ (Marion Treby, Cambridge Folk Club) Type of Label: None |

Iraq 4 years on |
