For over 40 years, John (JC) Greene, aka ‘English’ John Fox has been a part of the music business.

 
Starting out in 1965 as a guitar player, then bassist, in his native Cornwall he moved to London in the late 60's, played in various bands, lived at the Eel Pie Island commune, helped organize the 1971 Glastonbury Fayre, played on the 1st Pyramid Stage with The Worthy Farm Windfuckers and featured on the Chilli Willi & The Red Hot Peppers album 'Kings of the Robot Rhythm'.

After a job behind the scenes as stage crew at the original Rainbow Theatre, he swiftly became assistant stage manager under the now legendary stage manager Michael Ahern.
On the demise of the Rainbow, production company work followed, namely tours with the Grateful Dead, Paul McCartney’s Wings and Santana.

After a move to California in 1972, a brief spell with the Deads lighting crew led to his becoming light designer for Boz Scaggs which, in those days, meant 3 month tours, arena support slots for such as The Allman Bros, Steve Miller, Little Feat, Steely Dan and the occasional huge festival.

In 1975 a stage lighting design company was created and tours with NRPS, Commander Cody, Santana, Van Morrison and The Tubes were interspersed with one off gigs for such as Jefferson Airplane and Stevie Wonder.

Returning to England (exhausted!) in the late seventies John went back to performing and played bass for rock, reggae, folk, jazz, soul, country and r'n'b bands including British Intelligence,

Breaking Strings, Jaroma, The Rhythm Doctors and the Dubious Brothers.

By 1994 an increase in his songwriting led to a return to the guitar, solo gigs and recording.

The Dead Sea Squirrels were formed in 1998 and thru many personnel changes have featured with him on countless gigs and recordings.

His albums 'Gone West' 1994, 'All This' 1998, 'Different Game' 2002,

'Time to Remember', 2006. and 'West of the Rest' 2009

are all available from good online stores.
