John was born in Scotland in 1966 in the community of Kelloholm Dumfriesshire, he moved away from Scotland to Yorkshire as a small child and has lived in the area ever since.

Spiritualism came into John's life at an early age. John recalls seeing faces materialise in his bedroom from age 4 years old, he would become scared and go and tell his mum about this and she would comfort him by telling him they were just shadows.

Another early memory for John was that of a little boy who he saw playing upstairs at his home and who ran away from John when he saw him, again John would go downstairs and tell his parents who would then go and check and tell John that he must have imagined it as their was no one upstairs. John didn't see anymore spirits clairvoyantly for some years but says that he was always aware of presence's around him.

At age 12 John was very aware of, what he now calls, 'Inspirers' around him and with him. John's Inspirers are what other mediums refer to as Spirit Guides. John has three Inspirers who he draws upon while working with spirit, with a spirit woman called Mary being the first to introduce herself to John at around 15 years old. Reflecting back now John can remember sending out his thoughts and prayers and getting responses from Mary.

During adolescence John doesn't recall much interaction with Spirit and went about his daily life but still with the feeling that he had someone or something watching over him.

John has graced the rostrums of the United Kingdoms spiritualist churches for the last 10 years giving clairvoyant readings to many. He is now embarking on a tour of the UK appearing at many venues across the country. To find out when John will be appearing at a venue near you please check the Tour Dates page.
