His be-suited on-stage performance combines Frank Sinatra, Lee Evans and Man in Black. Genius? Madcap? Maverick? Yes, all of these things…and a lot, lot more.
A stellar musical CV includes co-writing with Alison Moyet, being a John Peel favourite with his 80's band Terry and Gerry (recently reformed), winning best band (with his band Colvinquarmby) at Fairport’s Cropredy Festival as well as the Hancock Award for best live folk act. A Glastonbury stalwart, he has played several times and also acted as compere on more than one occasion.

John Ralph
Saturday Lunchtime at the Allendale
John’s songs and tunes reflect the diversity of music influences from a lifetime of playing in Folk and Irish Country and rock bands.
He's played at Cambridge Folk Festival and Ely Folk Festival, also in Denmark, Albany and many festivals around his now-home of Australia. As part of the Iceni Duo in Norfolk, John played traditional music throughout East Anglia.
Songs of social comment, love songs, comedy songs, chorus songs and traditional songs and tunes from the UK and Australia, all played with a contemporary feel but with roots firmly in the tradition. John is no stranger to fingerpicking guitar styles.
