Sequences Special Edition Podcast No 151: Wavestar & John Dyson

Welcome to another special edition, devoted to UK electronic music artist, John Dyson, whose musical career has spanned nearly 35 years, with his first band, Wavestar, formed with David Ward Hunt, (who sadly passed away in 1999), releasing 3 albums in the 80’s and going solo with 6 more over a 20 year period. In 2018 saw the formation of new Wavestar 2, accompanied by accomplished composers and studio-technicians Paul Ward and Stephan Whitlan, releasing the debut album “Nightwind’s. Once described as a "cheeky chappie" by none other than Sir Paul McCartney, John Dyson has been a leading light in the UK Electronic Music scene for many years. We also would like to add, that he is one of the kindest and friendliest people we know, with great stage presence. Do check out the bio on his musical career and photos on our website. We kick off with John’s all-time best-seller “Evolution”, his first solo release on the Surreal to Real label, set up by John with help from musician Anthony Thrasher, who played on his early concerts in the UK & Europe.
