Old Skool Reunion with Simon Tuck
John Vertity | Talking About My Generation | Episode 8
Talking About My Generation
Tuesday, 29 July 2025 - 57 minutes
In this cracking episode of Talking About My Generation, Lee Scriven and Del Bromham are joined by singer, guitarist and rock storyteller John Verity. John shares jaw-dropping tales from a life in music: sneaking his first guitar into the house, being managed by his dad under the name Johnny V, and gigging between a comedian and a stripper in working men’s clubs!
He talks about his time in soul bands, unexpected residencies in the Bahamas, and how he ended up sharing a stage with Jimi Hendrix — with a shady manager who turned out to be a Miami drug kingpin. John also reveals what it was really like joining Argent, pushing himself to keep up with top musicians, and how he’s still gigging and writing today. Expect warm laughs, surprising confessions, and loads of rock’n’roll history told exactly as it happened — no PR spin, just pure, honest stories from a true survivor of the British rock scene.
