John Bailey studied for an MA in Jazz performance in 2010 and has since been working as guitarist for singer Russell Watson and Aled Jones as well as other renowned artists. John Bailey currently writes for film and TV individually and in partnership with renowned film composer Mike Moran on behalf of Chelsea Pictures. John Bailey recently performed music from the CODA soundtrack with Emilia Jones as part of her CODA promotional screenings for the Academy Awards, BAFTAs and Oscars. He played guitar for several weeks on Sting’s ’The Last Ship’ and has numerous TV performances including Jane McDonald and Songs of Praise. John performs with English mezzo soprano Laura Wright at corporate events and soon at Lytham Festival’s classical proms.

John plays Kremona F65CW-SB and Kremona Solea. 

John says about his Solea "The Solea offers me an extremely colourful sound with a rich palette of timbres. I find it to be an extremely easy guitar to work with due to its high quality build. I'm particularly taken with the dark sounds I'm able to get out of it and also its traditional and authentic tone which is perfect for the music I make."
