John's Picture Gallery

I apologise to all those featured on this page...but I just couldn't resist, and after all, you can see plenty of very embarrassing material of me on the 'all about me and my world' page......

Adam Briggs and Jo Smith skillfully adapted by my good friend Mr Lawrie Frew.. please send him all hatemail regarding this image...

I must say, Briggs is looking more like his dad every day, especially with the new haircut, and Jo's legs are enough to make any bloke's eyes water!

Meet Alan Losh - Head of Music at John Port School, Etwall, Derby

Mr Losh is Head of Music at JPS - here he is in his relaxed state - don't worry, he only looks like this during band rehearsals!

Mr Losh is our inspirational leader. He plays with the ISB of the Salvation Army but spends most of his time talking about Sunderland (and it's football club)......I'm sorry to say this Sir, but well, you lost again!

He is well known for his reference to '1999 rehearsals' where JPS band is concerned, and has been known to shout 'Why aye man' loudly when provoked.

He also goes by the names of 007 Losh and Alan Lamb but why, well we don't really know.

One thing's for sure, don't cross this man with you flugelhorn. He's a mean spiel on the trumpet but we all know that SAXOPHONES rule the instrumental world anyway...we're the only ones with reeds and brass

Wendy Freeman, now Horn player, age 5

Stuart Knight, our good friend and Clarinet player, age 5. Isn't he cute?!

Dave Harris (on the left) who thinks he's a real hard guy trumpeter these days, age 5

Me (on the right)! Thank God I've got more teeth now - and don't you just love my V-neck. Hand knitted by my mum! By the way I'm a Saxaphone and Clarinet player and WE rule the roost!

For the benefit of those who know him, shown below is Liam Bakewell. Hunchback or what at age 5!!

And finally (well for now anyway) my best friend Simon Darn. Now that's one hell of a head of hair you got there, Simon!
