John Timothy Power (born 14 September 1967 in Allerton, Liverpool) is an English singer-songwriter and musician. Power achieved commercial success as the bass guitarist and secondary vocalist for the La's from 1986 to 1991, and later as the frontman of Cast during the Britpop movement of the mid-1990s. Following the split of Cast in 2001, John Power embarked on a solo career. Power has since reunited with the La's in 2005 and Cast in 2010 and they released the album "Troubled Times" in March 2012. ==The La's== (詳細はtitle=The La's article )〕 Whilst still quite inexperienced on bass guitar,〔 Power was mentored by Lee Mavers (a former bass player himself) and the core trio of Mavers, Badger and Power rehearsed and performed extensively until December 1986 when Badger left the band. The La's fanbase grew rapidly after the arrival of Power and the group recorded some of the demos which helped them gain a record deal the following year. For the remainder of the La's' history, the band's line-up would change frequently with a constant duo of Lee Mavers (guitar, vocals) and John Power (bass, backing vocals) and various other guitarists and drummers. Power played on the band's early singles "Way Out" (1987) and "There She Goes" (1988) and was part of the recording of the band's debut album ''"The La's"'' released in 1990. Whilst in the La's, John Power emerged as a songwriter himself and two Power-written songs "Alright" and "Follow Me Down" were performed live by the band during 1991.〔 Following increased tension between Power and Lee Mavers, John Power left the La's in December 1991 and he went on to form Cast the following year.〔 It was then announced in 2005, that the La's were to reform for a series of headline and festival appearances in the UK, Ireland and Japan. Following these gigs and with no sign of new La's material, Power returned to his solo career. 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 Power (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
