RAM JOHN HOLDER BLACK LONDON BLUES

BEACON RECORDS 1969                                  BEAS 2

"Ram" John Holder was actually christened "John Holder" by his parents, 

who were devout members of the USA-based Pilgrim Holiness Church. 

He grew up in Georgetown, Guyana, during the 1940s / 1950s. Influenced 

by the church and the musical talents of his parents, he became quite 

accomplished playing the guitar. During the early '50s the strict, 

straight-laced Church membership was scandalized when he broke away 

and changed his name to "Ram" John. Holder began his performing career 

as a folk singer in New York. In 1962 he came to London and worked 

with Pearl Connor's Negro Theatre Workshop initially as a musician, 

and later as an actor. His theatre career saw him perform on 

the major stages in London such as the Royal National Theatre, 

the Donmar Warehouse and Bristol Old Vic.

Holder is a talented musician, who has recorded a number of 

albums: Black London Blues (1969), Bootleg Blues (1971), 

You Simply Are... (1975) and Ram Blues & Soul. He has also 

released various singles and contributed to soundtracks for 

film and television, including three songs for 

the film adaptation of Take a Girl Like You.
