Bromley Blues Club are excited to welcome the legendary John Verity band to The Bromley Little Theatre.

John Verity began his music career in the early 1960’s, playing guitar in various local groups around his home town of Bradford, Yorkshire until he was offered a full time gig with a pro band the ‘Richard Kent Style’.

By the spring of 1970 the Kent Style had morphed into ‘Tunnel’. Living and working in the US, doing prestigious support slots with many of the big names of the day including Jimi Hendrix (July 5th 1970 – 2 days after JV’s 21st birthday), Mountain, Canned Heat, Savoy Brown, and Janis Joplin.

Whilst on tour, JV was spotted by Rod Argent who was looking for new lead vocalist for his band following the departure of Russ Ballard. John eventually joined Argent late in 1973

The next few years were spent in recording studios throughout the world, producing, playing guitar, or doing backup vocals with various acts including Motorhead, Tank, Ringo Starr, Russ Ballard, Colin Blunstone, Brian Connolly, John Parr, BowWowWow and The Searchers amongst many others

At the 1994 Manchester Festival “Fender Stratocaster 40th Anniversary” concert, JV guested, along with many Rock Legends past and present including Sonny Curtis, Frankie Miller and Rory Gallagher.

After over sixty years in the business, John is still writing, recording, and performing, with no plans to stop anytime soon, with the words he was to hear so many times at the beginning of his career still ringing in his ears — “This Rock ‘n’ Roll won’t last you know!”
