The 27 year old from Manchester has been performing around the country on his Winter UK tour with Soul Features and graced an eager Birmingham crowd last Friday, supported by local songstress Monique and the vibrant Matt Henry from BBC’s The Voice.\r \r As we perched on the cold steps of the Temple Room, curiosity got the better of me and I had to ask him what ‘JP’ stood for.\r \r He replied with a gentle smile, ‘John Paul’.\r \r I gawped in amazement. A cloud of mystery had dispersed all in that moment.\r \r ‘Just a normal English John, nothing French’, he chortled.
