John Miller
A rare solo appearance (without his Country Casuals) by one of the UK’s leading purveyors of real authentic traditional country music Mr John Miller. He sings & writes traditional country music ; there’s no gimmicks and no new-fangled twists. Consequently he’s the purest country singer practising his art on these islands, and one the finest around.
