Born in Manchester to a very musical family influenced greatly by his Grandad who was a professional mandolin player for the bbc , learned the guitar aged 11 and formed and fronted a band throughout and beyond his school days, they did parties and pubs. In the late 80s Jack hung up the guitar and took time out from it and in the late 90s formed a guitar based duo.. Tidy Jack for several years they gigged around the north west and learned their trade in the pubs and working mens clubs.
In 2000 Jack decided to go it alone as a solo vocal artiste and still does to this day covering popular hits from the 60s and through the decades although no longer plays the guitar in his shows, with more than 200 songs under his belt from swing to pop from motown to northern soul he can perform to any audience.
