As part of the Maskarade Clarinet Quartet, he has given recitals around the country for festivals and music societies, broadcast live on BBC radio, and undertaken tours overseas. His arrangements of Night on Bare Mountain (Mussorgsky), Prelude in G (Rachmaninov) and the comedic March Grotesque have often featured in recitals, as have his trio arrangements of the Gershwin preludes. He has also written music for the Bass Clarinet.

John was the Musical Director for the Peterbrook Players for over ten years and is currently the Conductor of the Harborne Orchestra with whom he puts on two concerts a year. His arrangements for wind band and orchestra have been used with several ensembles around the Midlands.
John currently teaches the Clarinet and Saxophone at King Edward VI Camp Hill School, Edgbaston High School for Girls and West House Boys School. He conducts (and arranges for) ensembles at each of these locations.
