John Idan interview

John was born in Royal Oak, Michigan just a few miles from the edge of Detroit. Being interested in music from a very young age, he soon discovered the guitar as his favourite instrument and started having lessons at the age of 7. Throughout the next years, he developed his musical craft and played in several bands in Detroit. When John's band "The Natural Blues Band" broke up, he went on a holiday to England where he met former Yardbirds Top Topham and Jim McCarty and became the singer and guitarist in their blues band. Playing four to five times a week all around London, John soon became known as "Detroit" John Idan.
