About John Du Cann
John William Cann, later known by his stage name John Du Cann, was an English guitarist primarily known through his work in the 1970s band Atomic Rooster. In the late 1990s, he was introduced to the Angel Air record label by John McCoy. The album, mostly made up of breakneck-speed garage rock and manic proto-punk, was described in Record Collector magazine at the time as sounding like "Quo mixed with the Sex Pistols". John Du Cann's last ever studio recording was made in 2000, at Green Hills Studio in Norwich. In 1979, Du Cann and Crane re-formed Atomic Rooster with Preston Heyman on drums (with whom they recorded their 1980 self-titled album).
