John Aston, born in 1942, always wanted to be a singer from the age of five. He grew up in a musical family and his father taught him about showbusiness. He was performing in school concerts from the age of seven and was the youngest ever to become a member of the adult church choir at aged 12. His father bought him his first guitar when he was 13 and he formed The Red Ace Skiffle Group one year later when they did their first paid job. John moved to Yorkshire from the West Midlands in 1966 to join a group called The Nashville Three and then became part of a duo called The Aston Brothers in 1967 before eventually going solo in 1971.
John got his first award in 1973 from the West Country Music Association (WCMA), it being the first of 26 awards that he holds to date.
He has recorded 16 albums and has written over 40 songs, 17 of which were recorded in Nashville. Having been on the stage for so long it came easy for him to do many radio shows and tv appearances, he played a part in a Ken Loach (KES) film called The Navigators.
John Aston has been more than 66 years in the music industry and so justifiably takes his place in the British Country Music Hall of Fame, he is the 57th to become inducted into this prestigious Hall, joining the likes of Bob Harris, Charlie Landsborough, Kenny Johnson and three who have recently passed away, John C King, Roger Wild and Raymond Froggatt.
