He was one of the founder members of Loose Tubes in the 80's, touring and recording three albums with them. Since then he has pursued a varied career working with many well respected and influential musicians; names such as, Annie Whitehead, Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone, Leo Konitz, Paul Motian, Tim Whitehead, Eddie Parker, WDR Band with Peter Erskine, Vince Mendoza, Mark Lockheart, Julian Argüelles, Iain Bellamy's Acme, Mark Lockheart Quartet, Andy Sheppard, Gerard Presencer, Colin Towns, Martin Speake Quintet, Eddie Parker Group.

His debut album as band leader titled Alba was released in May 2000 for Provocateur and continues the original and fresh feel that is now the renowned trademark of John's music. In 2003, John formed a duo with Andy Sheppard and they recorded P.S. Johns second album for Provocateur which has been described as "mesmerising" by the Observer.
