Industry: Entertainment & Games
Introducing Whiskey in the Jar from singer, songwriter and surgeon John Cullimore!
London, UK (PRUnderground) March 28th, 2021
Wiltshire-based singer songwriter John Cullimore grew up in Liverpool in the 1960’s, in the heart of the ‘Merseybeat’ sound, which became synonymous with the Beatles, the Searchers, Gerry and the Pacemakers and many others. Steeped in this early new wave of exciting ‘pop’ music, it was a natural step for John to begin to write his own: beginning at the tender age of 13 and continuing to compose and produce his own original music and musical covers today, fitting this around his career as a Surgeon.
His latest project is a version of Whiskey in the Jar to be released on St Patrick’s day (17th March) and commemorates his recent application for Irish citizenship, which became available to him based on his family’s heritage.
Whiskey in the Jar is perhaps one of the most extensively covered songs in history, but John believes he has composed a unique arrangement which will be appreciated by those already familiar with the song as well as younger listeners who may have not yet appreciated its power and the lilting, tongue-in-cheek appeal of its genre.
John’s style is reminiscent of 70’s rock with added influences from Bruce Hornsby, Tears for Fears and Steely Dan, partly reflecting his experience as keyboard player in ‘Strictly Dan’, a Steely Dan tribute band based in the South of England.
John has recorded 11-studio albums, working closely with producer Nick Beere for the last 12 years. His latest album ‘Splendid Island’ has been reviewed by local journalist Graham Carter.
