Very sorry to learn of Johnny's passing. I have many fond memories of singing in his band JNX in the 2000s, with some great friendships formed, and lots of opportunities for cool gigs, including one at Rimutaka Prison. My sincere condolences to his family and the others I was in JNX with. Very sad news. Johnny was a very dedicated musician.

My sincere condolences to John's family - I have fond memories of Johnny's band, Roadsterz, playing at The Top Pub in Greytown during my tenure there in early part of this century.
Rock on, Johnny.
