John Anthony Helliwell (born 15 February 1945, in Todmorden, Yorkshire, England) is an English musician and the saxophonist and occasional keyboardist, woodwind player, and background vocalist for the rock band Supertramp.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Supertramp'' )〕 He also serves as a MC during the band's concerts, talking to and making jokes to the audience between songs. Helliwell played with The Alan Bown Set, replacing Dave Green when he joined in January 1966, before joining Supertramp in 1973〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Supertramp biography'' )〕 along with bassist Dougie Thomson, who convinced Helliwell to make the move. In 2004, Helliwell formed the band Crème Anglaise with Mark Hart, who joined Supertramp in 1985. This group recorded their eponymous debut album in 2005. In 1987, Helliwell played on Pink Floyd's album ''A Momentary Lapse of Reason''; his name was misspelled as "Halliwell".〔A Momentary Lapse of Reason〕 This was after Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour had played on Supertramp's album ''Brother Where You Bound''. During a professional lull in the 1990s, Helliwell began studying for a music degree at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, but he discontinued his studies to join Supertramp on tour when ''Some Things Never Change'' was released〔http://www.johnhelliwell.com/biography.php In 2004, Helliwell contributed saxophone work on the Simon Apple album "River To The Sea"〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Helliwell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
