Christian pop star at North Norfolk event

John Gaughan was a singer and guitarist with top rock group Herman's Hermits who dominated the UK music scene in the mid 1960s along with The Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

After finding national fame, John became disillusioned to the point of suicide.

"I know what it is to be at the top and everyone wants to know you, and I know what it is to be at the bottom in the gutter as an alcoholic and no-one wants to know you," said John.

He reached a point of total desperation and tried unsuccessfully to end his life by throwing himself from an attic window.

During this time of despair many people called to see John, but the only person he could remember was a man from a local church who spoke to him about Jesus.

A week after one of these visits, John accepted Jesus as his Lord and so began the miraculous rebuilding of his life. Broken bones were literally healed and he was completely set free from his acute alcoholism.

Since then, John's music and song writing career has taken on a new lease of life. Not only does he sing previous popular hits, but he has a new repertoire of catchy songs which reflect where he is today.
