Local street entertainer to play international awards ceremony after being spotted busking in Chelmsford.

Chelmsford street entertainer John Fowler, has been booked to perform at ‘The British Legal Technology Awards’ ceremony in London after being spotted in Chelmsford city centre.

Produced by Chelmsford based Netlaw Media, The British Legal Technology Awards is Europe’s most prestigious and sort after awards for technology and IT security in the legal sector.

The Chief Executive of Netlaw Media recalls the day he discovered John as he was playing guitar in Chelmsford high street, “I first saw John perform in Chelmsford around six months ago. At the time, I thought his guitar playing was astronomically good, in fact one of the best blues artists I’ve seen for a long time. When I saw him playing again a couple of months ago, I just had to invite him to perform at the awards. Thankfully, he agreed and I’m sure he’s going to blow everyone away with the quality of his performance.”

When not busking on the streets of Chelmsford, John, a university-trained musician, has performs all over the UK, and has in recent years played across four continents including as far afield as Australia. “One of my most recent gigs was in The Seychelles” said John “however I’ve never performed in front of an audience of senior lawyers and legal technology companies before, but when I was approached by Netlaw Media, it was an opportunity that I simply could not refuse”.

Hosted by TV comedian Marcus Brigstocke, John will perform his solo set in front of a 300-strong audience of invited guests, dignitaries and awards finalists from across the UK and European legal sectors. John’s set will include hits from many jazz and blues legends, including Joe Pas, Wes Montgomery and Nat King Cole.
