John Gill

Many touring buskers would have shared the pitch with John over the last 17 years in the Perth mall. I certainly did, as did Martin.
He had quite a following and I am sure he will be missed.

Thanks for this Gav.
He was one of those street performers who knew he would always give more than he got but did it anyway and his talent was just a gift he let go out into the world.

Ragtime is unrelentingly cheerful, I enjoyed that.

He gave 17 years to Perth, They should put up some brass do-dad and have wi-fi of his music available that invades passing ipods.
