A truly homegrown talent, John began his career busking on the streets, using the money to pay for his first release, fittingly entitled “The Pavement is My Stage”.
After the album reached No.7 in the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts he took a leap of faith and left his job as a Mathematics Teacher. That gamble paid off and John has gone on to support household names such as:
• Take That
• Lemar
• Stooshe
• T’Pau
• Katherine Jenkins
His hard work and impressive live performance has gained a strong following;
• 21,000 twitter followers,
• 28,000 Facebook fans,
• over 6 million views on YouTube
• and 300,000 monthly listeners on Spotify
• Recent performances have seen him play across South Wales selling out venues in Cardiff and Swansea.
John’s album “You Never Know Who’s Listening” was very well received by fans and the music industry alike and has accrued over 5 million plays on Spotify .
The lead single “Dandelion Wishes” was added to “Your Favourite Coffeehouse” playlist.
All 4 singles became Radio 2 favourites and were also playlisted at BBC Radio Wales.
Leading up to the album drop John released “Lost In Christmas” that become the soundtrack for the “La Feltrinelli” (major publishing house) Christmas campaign across Europe.
We are delighted to welcome John back to Acapela for what will undoubtedly be another great sell out concert.
Book a table for pre-concert dining
Acapela Studio provides pre-concert dining between 6.00pm and 7.30pm from our pizza oven. To view the current menu visit here.
Please purchase your concert tickets first before booking a table. We will not accept any table bookings that do not have a corresponding ticket purchase.
Then return to the event page to book your table, by selecting the date of your event, number of diners and time you require table. The times shown are the only vacancies left. Please complete your email and phone number as this is required to ensure your table is allocated. You will receive confirmation of your booking by email and text.
If on the date you have chosen no tables are available - no times will be shown and the booking system will revert you back to todays date - PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK THE CORRECT DATE!
PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE RELIES ON THE INCOME FROM DINING TO ENSURE WE CAN BOOK ALL THE GREAT ACTS PERFORMING.
Income from the provision of pizzas is very important to the venue and if you have booked a table it is a requirement that all people sat at tables order food - a salad alternative is available to pizzas. Please do ensure that all individuals will be ordering on your table - if this is not the case please cancel your table so others who are looking to dine can do so. Our apologies to raise this but recently we have had many tables (some very large) where less than 50% of those sat at tables have ordered food. Financially this is a real problem to the sustainability of the venue.
- All seating at tables must purchase a pizza - so please do not book a table if everyone is not eating.
- Please ensure that you arrive 10 minutes before the time slot allocated to order your pizzas prior to your booking time.
- Tables not seated within 15 minutes of the allocated time may be lost and allocated to other audience members wishing to order pizzas.
- If you wish to book a table for 6 or more please email info@acapela.co.uk
Please note that all of our pizzas are made fresh to order and cooked in an authentic wood-fired oven. It may take up to 45 minutes to be served during busy periods.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO BOOK A TABLE YOU CAN STILL ORDER PIZZAS ON THE NIGHT (USUALLY ON BUSY NIGHTS NO LATER THAN 7.15PM) AND WE WILL SERVE THEM TO YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE SAT IN THE VENUE - IN A PIZZA BOX.
