One of the most consistent performers on the blues rock circuit today, having honed his craft over more than 60 years on the circuit at every level.

Born in West Yorkshire he played in many bands in the area and beyond before moving to Florida. Whilst there he opened for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Mountain and others, then on his return to the UK, taking a somewhat different direction this time as front man with Argent. When Argent disbanded John spent time primarily in the studio, producing, recording, and guesting with, among many others, Ringo Starr, The Zombies, Smokie, Charlie, Motorhead, and Saxon.

Jump forward a few years and John is now back out on the road with his own band and experiencing a musical renaissance.

The John Verity Band currently features:
John Verity – Guitar/vocals
Chris Mansbridge – Drums
Roger Inniss – Bass

“And it would always have been difficult to follow the next act, the triumphant John Verity Band. Verity is best known for his stint as the frontman of Argent in the 1970s, but that was only a brief interruption in a 50-year solo career.”

“You are left under no illusion that you are in the hands of a proper musician and vocalist who would have no problem filling a stadium, packing out any club and bringing a festival audience to their feet. Go see him!”
