John’s musical activities have not been limited to theatre organs. He is an experienced classical organist and pianist, having played for the ‘All Stops Out’ series on the Melbourne Town Hall organ, ‘Music for the People’ at the Myer Music Bowl and Melbourne Town Hall, and ‘Carols by Candlelight’. John is one of the house organists at the Melbourne Regent Theatre, home of the 4/36 Wurlitzer organ formerly installed in the Paramount Theatre, San Francisco.

He has appeared in concerts at the Theatre Organ Society of Aust. National Easter Conventions held in Adelaide in 1998, 2003 and in Sydney in 2000, as well as playing regularly for Theatre Organ Society club-nights and concerts at the Capri Theatre and the Electronic Organ Club of South Australia.
