the time for talking's through

Instrumental with some guitar work included, but really it's a frustrated song. That's my sister Lesley with me in the picture, that is!

Picture for song 'come and find me' by artist 'John Close'

come and find me

Written early 2001 during my stay in hospital. Sung by Cathy Clarke. Unashamedly straightforward pop music as done by Herman's Hermits or HearSay!

diving in water

Cathy Clarke singing a song I wrote in hospital in 2001. That's not Cathy in the picture, that's my sister Lesley, she gets in everywhere! And we're very grateful that she does.

Picture for song 'world hold on' by artist 'John Close'

world hold on

Started life as a Bob Dylan-type song, then became a "rap" whilst experimenting with a sequencer. Written 1994. This version recorded 1998.
I've been writing for over thirty years, I'm almost getting to the fruits of maturity! This music of mine is generally melodic and poppy. In addition to this page, check out The Tweaky Twins. That's Marge McKinnis and myself demoing our songs. Then there's Mr Melody, me in my more ambient-jazz frame of mind. Rick Norton or "Rino" is in the pop section, he does some songs I've co-authored. Finally the upcoming DeShayna, with whom I co-write.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I don't play live anymore since getting motor neurone disease. I was always more of a songwriter, anyway. Used to be in a rock group one time, and later on a folk dance band. Happy days!
Your musical influences
Lionel Richie, Stevie Winwood, Beatles, Michael MacDonald, Elgar. Too many people. See if after fifty-four years you can come up with a snappy answer to "What sort of music do you like?"
What equipment do you use?
Band In A Box, Cakewalk, Acid Music, Yamaha QYs, guitar, anything legal considered.
Anything else?
Too many people to thank for their support, but above everyone else my sister Lesley deserves a big hug!
