John Mann was born in Brighton and, after piano and church organ lessons, was engaged at Brighton Ice Rink to play for the skaters at the age of 17. John was also with Bobby Howell’s Band at Brighton Sports Stadium.
John toured ABC Cinemas with live shows throughout 1959, based at the Plaza Worthing. Summer seasons at Skegness and Ramsgate followed, after which John spent ten years at Queens Ice Rink in London. John then returned to Summer Seasons, dividing his time between Worthing, Eastbourne and Bexhill-on-Sea.
John has many recordings to his credit both on his Eminent organ and a variety of theatre pipe organs. He has broadcast from the Granada Tooting and been a popular and frequent contributor to BBC Radio 2’s ‘The Organist Entertains’.
John last played at the Victoria Hall in 2009 and this may be the last opportunity to see him in the North before he retires from the concert circuit.
