John Kerslake
It's just me at the moment. I've been writing and performing my own music for about twenty years now with increasing intensity. Sometimes I get lost in the cause in my lyrics, wishing I could get the message of love and peace across. Sometimes I just have fun with my songs. Sometimes I write and sing about the sadness we can experience but I always like to think there's a positive side to all in the end. I also like the attraction of fantasy and have written songs about Faeries, mermaids and even a sorcerer. I can immerse in fantasy but embed messages on life in there. Makes it fun to listen to as well.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Mostly chalkboard events where people go to listen to the music. It's important to me that folks hear my lyrics. The music is a carrier for my thoughts.
