John Rossall's musical career has spanned four successful decades. The 1960's saw John acting as bandleader and musical director for various artists in the UK and Europe.

He Performed with the Mike Leander Showband and appeared on recordings as diverse as "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones, to, "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" by the Walker Brothers as well as many other International hits.

He formed the Boston International, a successful recording band in Germany. He performed all over Europe with the band during the 1960's and early 1970's.

In 1972, he received a phone call from Mike Leander, who had written a song called "Rock & Roll Part 2" which had entered the British charts. Mike asked John to form a band to perform the record, and back the front man, Gary Glitter on tour.

The band was named "The Glitter Band". John toured the world with his band during the 1970's and amassed millions of record sales. There were hysterical scenes wherever they appeared. Mike Leander played all the instruments on Gary Glitter's records, except the brass section, which was played by John and Harvey Ellison.

Harvey Ellison joined "The Bostons" in 1970 having previously worked with 'Root' and 'Jenny Jackson' and backing U.S. acts like 'Billy Stewart', 'The Impressions' and 'Charlie' and 'Inez Fox'.

In 1974, John Rossall co-wrote (with the late Gerry Shephard) the first solo single for the Glitter Band. The song was "Angel Face". It went on to become a million seller worldwide. More hits followed "Just For You", "Let's Get Together Again" both become top ten hits, the fourth record "Goodbye My Love" reached number 2 in the British charts.

At this point, John left the band, and signed to a major recording company. He released two solo records, "I Was Only Dreaming" and "It's No Use You Telling Me No", both records selling well in both the UK and Europe.

Harvey remained in the Glitter Band touring and recording until the early 80’s, after which he formed his own band 'The Power of Soul'

The Glitter Band have been busier than ever of late as the demand for the 'genuine' sound becomes ever greater, John and Harvey added former band member Brian Jones to the line up recently, taking the number of original band members to three.

Having shared the bill with many of the top 70’s superstars raising money for much publicised charities such as the Tsunami Orphan appeal (£36k) and the Cancer Care Trust (50k)

The Band have even found time to record a brand new album, released in August 2008 on Angel Air records 'Glitteresque' puts a modern twist to the original glitter sound adding to it’s timeless appeal
