'Was a pleasure working with john in the studio for someone who knows the music industy well, it gave a creative
edge with proffesional outcomes, ive got to admit his studio oosed creativity with relics from the past and art work
on the walls it brought a dazed vibe that you can really get lost in the music' ........ Alex Myhill
'John Bentleys skill as a producer is quick and efficient, he wouldnt dream of taking artistic control unless you
asked him too. He is patient and willing to work for as long as you are, and he has enough trinkets to entertain
during takes, plus his wife makes a mean cheese sarnie' ....... Oliver scott Tomney - The Picardie
'It has been a big pleasure working with john in the studio. His huge passion and drive for his music, is definitely
shown when recording and producing. He is inspired by many forms of musical genres, which helps create a
never-ending flow of ideas on what to do when in the studio. The passion john has with music is shown when any
song or tune of which goes out that studio is entirely personal and individually to that composer, due to his love and
inspiration for music. Inspirational is one word in which sums up the time and effort john has for producing and
composing music'....... Lord Craig Dacey
'I have been a professional drummer for 45 years and i am very fussy about bass players. One of the finest I have
ever played with is Johnny Bentley. He is a rock, very solid yet melodic & musically savvy. I am proud to have
worked with him with Duncan McKenzie Band & Johnnies instumental project Mind Your Head'........ Chris Hunt
'I've played with many great musicians in my life.. John is something special. With John around its literally
impossible for the vibe to be anything but positive and productive. He has an irreverence that allows for seriously
good music to blossom. A great musician, a great human being and a silly fucker - with a seriously professional
approach'......... Tim West
