Back in the 2000s John&#8217;s wife bought him a guitar, and suddenly it was as if a musical match was lit in his mind &#8211; and a musical transformation began.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">John released a series of singles from his album, &#8216;Remnants&#8217;, which he cut at London Bridge Studios, in Seattle, Washington, where they were mixed and engineered by Jonathan Plum, and mastered by Geoff Ott. &#8216;Remnants&#8217; is a contagious and musically assorted album of twelve tracks, featuring John&#8217;s vocals on all songs, and keys on all but two.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Hello Hello&#8217; features a video which tells the story of a woman and a man, who embark on a journey where they experience all the beauty the world has to offer them &#8211; one moment at a time. The clip combines sketches and real life footage shot in and around Greenwich, in London, England. The final effect evokes memories of A-ha&#8217;s video for &#8216;Take On Me&#8217;. The video was conceived by director Liam Morgan, and presents a positive message, backed by classic rock, indie stylings. The track can be downloaded from <a href=\"http:\/\/flyt.it\/iTunesHH\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a> and streamed on <a href=\"http:\/\/flyt.it\/SpotifyHH\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>.
