John Dartnell
  I am English born and bred and I have been playing music most of my life. I have played in a few bands here in the UK some famous and a lot not quite so famous.
  I had a brief spell away from music and in that time I did some acting work which included a small role in one of the Harry Potter movies, I also made an appearance in Sherlock Holmes 2, plus I did countless UK TV shows, some commercials and I was in a pop video for a band called ‘Busted’ with a song called ‘Year 3000’, which made it to number one in the charts here in the UK. 
  So all in all my career has been somewhat varied along the way. I have released 10 commercial albums, number 10 “Hello World’’ was released March 2017. 
  I released a single ‘Hello World’ back in November 2016 ahead of the release of the album. The single got to number 5 on a European Indie chart

What others say about me.

John or The Beard as he is affectionately known, is a singer/songwriter from London England. His American influenced music and his UK upbringing gives John his own unique style of music. His songs vary from his own style of country (Well what do you expect from a Brit) to haunting love songs, through to songs about life, through to good old Rock and Roll. To sum John up in a few sentences is difficult, the best way to describe him is unique…….. Listen to the man listen to his music.

Achievements

And again New Music Weekly Americana charts for 18 weeks with ‘This Is Who I Am’.
