Who is John Miles?

had a few hits in the 70's notably Slowdown, Highfly and then Music  (a big epic production number in the style of Bohemian Rhapsody and 10CC's Mandy with multiple parts - still gets plenty of airplay on Radio 2 ) - more than competent as a muso and guitarists

And Dudley Simpson of the BBC pretty much nicked the middle part of "Music" for the Blakes' 7 theme.

Vocalist in the studio and live for some of Jimmy Page's solo career.

Think he has done quite a bit of session work since both keyboard and Guitar - I recall him with Tina Turner sometime around 25/30 years ago when she was a big touring act

Been round the block a few times and as said here is of dubious origin and the guy does not seem to want to help himself.

yeah saw John miles play piano with Tina Turner back in the day she graciously took a break and let him do a few numbers including Music which I thought a little strange as it sort of changed the shows vibe completely.

as an aside - why does everybody on here seemingly get so hot under the collar about ebay/Gumtree listings when it doesn't affect them in any way?? Seems a national pastime these days to want to be the upholder and dictator of everyone else's moral behaviour...

Don't be bringing such a cult classic as Blake's 7 into a discussion about stuff that might be fake.


All the sets were NOT cardboard. It was all real. Real I tell you

Yep, those power stations they used to film at as alien bases were not cardboard although I think some of their sideburns were...

John Miles with a Les Paul.



The orchestral part of the middle of "Music" is very Moody Blues.

In the age of Google, surely this comment counts as trolling?
