John & the lads play Tokyo again, 2015
John & the 4th D took to the stage October 2015 in their old haunt Blue Note Tokyo and it was a great show. Here are some pics from the event, in which very happily I got to meet him once again.
We had very good seats, right up at the stage. Photos are totally forbidden so don't tell Blue Note Tokyo!
Etienne really brought the house down with his solo on 'Hijacked'.
As I said, this guy really rocked!
Blue Note like to create special cocktails for artists.
This one had a funny name which you could only appreciate after drinking.

A rich brew, deep, layered, like one of John's songs.
John pays his respect to Mr M'bappe, by giving him his plectrum.
Etienne, Ranjit, Gary, John, taking very well deserved bows.
I met John on his 2014 visit and he remembered me from that time. He is such a friendly person.
He's also completely hilarious, and does a great Norn Iron accent, complete with (very) authentic vocabulary.

John played with great brilliance and the whole band rocked; it was uber-cool music.
Does this man know how to have a good time, or what?
