Talk:John Miles (musician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone know more than I do about the incident where John was interviewed by the police seeking the Yorkshire Ripper because of coincidences involving his tour schedule and his accent resembling that on the tape sent to them? Apparently the track "Nice Man Jack" from the Zaragon album was inspired by this. Britmax 11:31, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

No clue, but I think the police should interview him again. Surely being responsible for "Music" is a criminal offence? -- DeLarge 10:28, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

This was removed from the main article (although it is perhaps worth exploring further) -

"John Miles" is not the real name of this artist. In the book "The Thrill of It All, The Story of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music" author David Buckley talks about the early career of drummer Paul Thompson who was with "John Miles" in a group called The Influence. Buckley describes this performer as "the artist who would later become known as John Miles." His official website says the birth name was "John Errington."
