Talk:John Miles (musician)

message: Does anyone know more than I do about the incident where John was interviewed by the police seeking the Yorkshire Ripper because of coincidences involving his tour schedule and his accent resembling that on the tape sent to them? Apparently the track "Nice Man Jack" from the Zaragon album was inspired by this.

replies: text: No clue, but I think the police should interview him again. Surely being responsible for "Music" is a criminal offence? -- DeLarge 10:28, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently "Nice Man Jack" was one of the reasons they spoke to him and "It's Not Called Angel" from the More Miles Per Hour album was a response. Britmax (talk) 09:02, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Yorkshire Ripper]]

message: This was removed from the main article (although it is perhaps worth exploring further) -  
"John Miles" is not the real name of this artist.  In the book "The Thrill of It All, The Story of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music" author David Buckley talks about the early career of drummer Paul Thompson who was with "John Miles" in a group called The Influence.  Buckley describes this performer as "the artist who would later become known as John Miles."  His  official website says the birth name was "John Errington."

thread_title: Cheesieat sentence in Wikipedia

message: Italic textBeing a long term fan of AB and enjoying his shared track with John Miles in the album Romanza I am puzzled that there is no mention of this collaboration in the articles on John Miles. Please consider adding this. Was it a "one- off"? Were there related problems? Davjo  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.31.32.74 (talk) 05:22, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
