John Power (born John Timothy Power on 14 September 1967 in Liverpool) is an English singer-songwriter and former frontman of 90's rock band Cast. Prior to Cast, Power was the bass guitarist with The La's, who had success in 1990 with their hit single, "There She Goes", and their eponymous album which reached cult status.
After leaving The La's in 1993 to form Cast, with whom he sung, played guitar and wrote songs, after four albums and a string of successful singles, Cast split in 2002. Power went on to release a solo album, Happening For Love in 2003. In 2005, it was known that The La's were reforming, with Power returning to his bass duties. It is then unknown whether he would pursue further solo projects, or be a member of The La's full time.
In October 2006 Power released an album entitled Willow She Weeps on the Tanuki Tanuki Limited record label, after the issue of the limited edition 7" vinyl single - "Jumpin Bean" b/w "Willow Weep".My new material is best summed up as acoustic with a bit of Captain Beefheart bass, using bass drum and toms and a fair few handclaps muses John after a session, reflecting on where this past year has taken his new material and what has infused and coloured its shape and form."
