06.September 2010 um 19:59Uhr «Hello John,
thank you for the wonderfull music. Thank you for your wonderfull jokes. Thank you for the times we could see each other. Thank you for playing at our wedding party, it was wonderfull, marvelous, hilarious, it was great. You gave us a lot of fun and pleasure..... Liebe Brigitta, es war schön John kennengelernt zu haben, er war ein wunderbarer Mensch. Wir haben ihn gern gehabt und wir werden ihn vermissen.

28.August 2010 um 16:43Uhr «Sitting here in tears, trying to come to terms with the news. I am heartsick that I failed to get the message of his death and funeral and could not join everyone in saying a proper goodbye.
John was a huge part of my life, together with Debby and the girls, in the 70s. In the early 80s he was a unique support when I had my own, very minor, brush with cancer. Since then our contact was irregular but whenever I saw him, it was as if it had only been a few weeks. Because of his recovery from the hell-raising days, John was a precious counsellor and I continue to pass on his wise words of encouragement to this day and always will. Recently, I have started singing the blues and I measure all guitarists by the Slaughter standard. I had a fantasy that one day we might tempt John to a jam and get on a stage together. Well, that will have to wait until I get to the big jam he has just joined. I will miss his gentleness, his hilarious humour and, of course, his music and I will never forget him. My thoughts are with all the family. Be happy and well, wherever you are, John. xxx |

27.August 2010 um 19:34Uhr «I grew up with John , but I moved away when I was 11 years old. I was always swapping things when I was at school, and one of the swaps was a cornet which John just had to get his hands on, which he did. I can always remember the upright piano in his front room, which he played perfectly at the age of 8or 9. And I can always remember the Hamster in the back room kept in the right hand alcove of the fire place. I am sure he told me his dad was a glass blower, not sure on that one. Well I am very sorry John has passed away, my best wishes go to all his family and his dearest and close friends. it was only by chance I typed in Johns name and discovered the sad news.

We will always remember his music, those solos that we waited to hear in sweet anticipation, that special lick the J S signature sound, his blues band, the fuzzy hair to the dickie bows so many memories of happy nights at the 100 club as we went together from courting to being grandparents. Thank you John, a wonderfull musician and a nice man. Much too soon rest in peace.

Last saw you in the Pavillion Bournemouth with the Big Chris Barber Band a couple of years or so ago. Saw and listened to you and the band dozens of times in between.

I knocked on your door in 1971 (aged 11) and asked you if you could teach me the Guitar. You told me that you didn't teach however I could come in and have a "Jam"....you blew me away! and have done ever since.....inspiring me to play with feel....."One note in the right place" you said...how true! Many good times fishing too......belly laughs till it hurt.....and so generous!......I will miss you so much. Rest in Peace John x  |

24.August 2010 um 16:48Uhr «I only met John once when we both played a New Orleans charity gig for the Water Rats in November 2004, but it was enough to appreciate what a really nice chap he was. I was playing with another band that night and we both had identical guitar stands, consequently John walked off with both stands at the end of the gig. He assured me he didn’t make a habit of that sort of thing when I caught up with him a few days later and he posted it back to me pronto. I found his sense of humour delightful in the short time I knew him and I’m utterly saddened by the news of his passing. My heart goes out to his family.
RIP John Andy |

23.August 2010 um 13:19Uhr «I'm almost lost for words...I spent three happy years with Chris and the band on the road, the whole experience was enhanced by John's presence both musically and personally. He was the complete professional, immaculate in every sense.he had a great sense of humour and a turn of phrase and genuine wit that was unique.
Sometimes after the soundcheck when the rest of the guys had left the stage,John would start playing a blues riff that John Sutton and I couldn't resist joining in on, so we would Jam for another 15 minutes or so.John's playing knocked me out in those moments he was a hell of a blues player. I spoke to him on the day before his birthday and he was full of spirit and good humour in fact we ended up having a great laugh on the phone. John was a very modest man never one to push himself into the limelight.I'll always be grateful that I had the opportunity to know him and share his company. John used to say the last two words to me every night after the gig so I'd like to return them now with love "Thanks Mate". Dave |

22.August 2010 um 23:35Uhr «Well, that news sucks.
John Crocker put it brilliantly: "In truth he was someone who made traditional jazz fans realise how much they loved the Blues." Put me in that camp. I remember sitting in the front row at Fairfield Halls watching him perform a blues with Ottillie that has never (to the best of my knowledge) been released. It was, quite simply, awesome. He'll be missed by a lot of people. |

21.August 2010 um 15:35Uhr «When we spoke to John the other day we enjoyed many amusing reminiscences of our time together in the Barber band. Such was his positive attitude that when we heard the sad news it was all the more difficult to comprehend. It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to a wonderful friend and someone who gave such pleasure to all who were fortunate to hear him play in all parts of the world. In truth he was someone who made traditional jazz fans realise how much they loved the Blues. Fondest love to Brigitta, 'his girls' and their families and our thoughts are with you all at this sad time. We hope you take comfort from all the fond messages shown here.

Jackie Flavelle rang to tell me of John's death.Although John and I have been out of touch with each other for sometime, we were pals during the late sixties and early seventies, I remember listening with him to The Band's first LP hot from the press and John raving about the skills of Robbie Robertson.A great guitar player and a delightful friend.

We will always treasure the memory of John coming round to our house with his new JJ Hucke signature guitar and asking to run it up through my amp as all his gear was in the band van. I've never altered the tone settings on the Laney after John borrowed it for a gig with the Part Time Blues Band in St Neots (his gear was in Germany this time!). Happy days and treasured memories. God bless you, John.

18.August 2010 um 00:09Uhr «Dear John. In recent days and weeks I wished for nothing more than that you would make it, win the fight, and that you would be given many more years of happy life to come, along with your family and friends. I had this hope until the very end and this hope helped myself to fight against my worst fears of maybe loosing you far too early. Receiving the devastating message of your sudden death leaves a big gap in my life which words can not describe. You will live on happily in my memories but memories can not replace what we all have lost. I will miss you as the blues man in the Chris Barber Band, I will miss you as my guitar hero of whom I have learned so much and I will miss you as a great and irreplaceable human being I am proud of having known for so many years of my life. Thanks John for everything. My blues solos will be for you. My deepest condolences to your wive and familiy. My thoughts are with you. Rest in peace. With love, Helge

17.August 2010 um 23:33Uhr «This is so, so sad. An absoluteley wonderful and special friend has been lost and everybody who knew him will mourn his passing. His humour and wit were experienced over 15 years of travelling together to and from gigs, and overnighting in eachothers houses in England. His playing was always inspirational. Touring with his own Band in the early 90's was unforgettable and hilarious. His enjoyment of his cars and driving were infectious. Thanks to Brigitta for the total support that made his last illness bearable. God Bless you John and thanks for your friendship. You will be long remembered with affection by Richard & Betty

I think Mike Henry puts it all in to perspective with those words, "we have an empty chair". I told myself that I wouldn't listen to "Another sad one", until the day you passed away. I listened to it this afternoon in tears. My sincere condolences. Sleep tight xx P.S: I bet that you and Lonnie are having a good ole jam session! |

You will remain in our hearts as a fantastic musician, one of the great ones of all time, and true gentleman with great knowledge about music and life on and off the stage.

We will all have our own special memories - re-enforced by LPs,CDs and DVDS. Mine will be the tingle of excitement as the band kicked off a concert and watching John get into the groove - that ritualistic kick of the amp.lead and the grin across to his mates in the engine room,whoever they were. That was John for me. But then there are those solos - and the Blues Band. Thank you for all of that John and go gently up the river. Peter |

I'm so shocked & saddened to hear the news. It was great to catch up with you again just before Christmas last year, and I'll treasure the long chat we had, as well as the great memories from way back when, as a teenager, you helped and inspired my musical ambitions. I'll miss you my friend. My thoughts are with Brigitta, and Lucy, Holly & Beth. Rob & Amanda Ford. |

Just logged on to see when you were back at the Concorde Club again when I came across the sad news. It was good to see you again last year, albeit after 23 years! I know you mentioned you thought your illness had returned but you seemed so positive. Your guitar playing is simply breathtaking and 'Another Coat of Paint' is barely out of my CD player in my car. Everyone around Eastleigh must be familiar with your 'solos' when I'm driving around! Hope to see you again this year at the Concorde, lot of love to you and your family. Shelley |

You might find it strange, but you are my guitar hero even that I never heard you playing live on stage . Why ? Because I was born and raised in Czechoslovakia (nowadays Czech Republic) and I couldnt get out of the country during communist times. After the regime fell, I went to the concert in Prague in 1992 but You werent there... Never mind. I still remember the time when I first heard the LP Ch. B. Live in Berlin - You were - and its still true, I listened to the album just yesterday - the star of this LP. The way You played there is amazing, Your solo on "Jeeps blues" was the first one I tried to copy. Your guitar is since then in my ears and soul, your gentle way of playing is amazing, I just love that. So please, keep on fighting, I wish You all the luck Michal |

When reading the last mail we were shocked and at the same time felt very sad about the contents. As member of the Chris Barber Band for so many years and with your own band you have given so much for body and soul that it is not easy for us to express in a few words what we have received from you during all this time. When we asked our son Helge some time ago who his favourite guitarist was who influenced his instrumental music (guitar) most of all he answered without hesitation: John Slaughter. Dear John, please try to reject your dark thoughts. The Slaughter music will/must go on. Thank you for your music and your kindness when we met. We hope that the good wishes in the message board will help you as much as the medicine. We do not say Good Bye to you but with your own words whenever we parted: "See you". |

the news of your current situation came as a total shock to me and I am deeply touched. My thoughts are always with you. I sincerely hope that you will recover. I first heared you on a Chris Barber LP (Sideways) when I was six years old. As a teenager I usually listend to the East-Berlin version of Jeep`s Blues or Ubava Zabava as a kind of legal hights. In 1986 I had the privilege of meeting you in person for the first time. In all those years I have listened to hundreds of artists but still you are one of my (very few) musical heros. This has nothing to do the nostalgia but with a special ability of yours to find a direct link to my soul. All my very best wishes are with you. Keep fighting!! Jan Lorenz |

I came upon your music when I heard, by chance, People Get Ready from Battersea Rain Dance. Great tone, real 'feel' just what I like in a guitar. This led me to more of Chris's music and ultimately to your own recordings. Seen you live loads of times, met you a couple and always came away really happy that here was a band and a guitarist with no side issues just out and out commitment to the cause. So very sorry to have just found out about your illness. My thoughts join with all these others, and more I'm sure, for a rapid recovery and the love of your family. Have just been playing Battersea Rain Dance for transferral to my BIG Mp3 collection. Thank you so much for People Get Ready, Worksong, Shout 'em Aunt Tilly, Revival, Saratoga Swing, Jeep's Blues etc etc. The best blues guitar licks I've ever heard. No-one comes near. M.V. |

thank you for the dedication you've shown over the years. Your talent and skill is unmistakeable, and your value immeasurable. I remember, when I was maybe in my early teens, running around backstage looking for John Crocker. In my obliviousness, instead of finding the door to the hallway, I ran straight into one of the dressing rooms, where you and (I think it was) Brigitte were having a conversation. Extremely embarassed for having barged in, I blurted out, Have you seen John? You both looked at me blankly and asked, Which one? I felt like eons passed before I could spit out, Crocker.... Ah memories. Pointless story, but anyway. I'm thinking of you while you fight on. Caroline B |

30.Juli 2010 um 18:41Uhr «Dear John,
I still remember the first time I ever heard of you. It was back in about 1966 when I was an undergraduate student at the LSE, and I vividly remember being in Imhof's on Oxford Street and discovering "Good Morning Blues", your first LP with the band. I also remember wishing I had the 32/6 or so that an LP used to cost back then, but I was too broke and couldn't buy the record. Now, of course, I have both the vinyl and the CD reissue, but more importantly I have, in addition to pretty much everything you've ever recorded, your friendship. Who knew, 44 years ago, that I would become the band's webmaster, along with Andreas and our late and much-loved friend Julian, and to count you and your fellow band members as friends. It's still hard for me, sometimes, to realize that people who were my musical heroes going back over 50 years, would be people I would not only have met but count as friends (despite living 5000 miles away with only sporadic trips to the UK). I mention all this because it was your warmth as much as anything else that made me feel at home the very first time I went backstage to meet the guys. All the best, Ed |

I probably saw you first in 1964 at the Casino in Berne / Switzerland and was thrilled about your interpretation of Worksong. My personal favourites are your solos in the different versions of Jeeps Blues as well as in Ubava Zabava. The recording of the Montreux Jazz Festival (although never released on LP or CD) is among my special "jewels". You have given a lot of great musical pleasure to jazz and blues lovers. I was lucky to meet you in different places on Chris Barber Concerts all over Europe and to enjoy your friendship for a long time. I did not only appreciate the discussions about jazz and blues, but also your excellent photographic skills. I keep the fingers crossed for your fight and my thoughts are with you and your family.

As a fan of you and your music I am very sorry to hear that you are unwell again. I first saw you with Chris's band back in the late 60's. Most often at Hatfield and the Salibury in Barnet. During your gap years from the band I remenber you turning up at the Red lion in Hatfield and sitting in using your old guitar re-borrowed fro Johnny McCallum. I saw your early band at Tring with the singer from Wee Williie Harris. I went to see Otillie with Chris at Aylesbury and there you were back on guitar. Then of course came the years of the blues band. I saw you several times at the 100 club , twice with Chris guesting and also saw the band at Oxford, Wavendon and the Black Bottom Club in Bedford where I was originally refused entry as a non member, but you vouched for me and I got in. The most recent time was at Pendley this April,when you were the star of the show for me. I thank you for all the pleasure your great music has given and hope that you recover to play again. In the meantime my very best wishes to you and your family. Your music will live on long after we have both left this planet. Keith Payne |

this is not the moment to talk too much about your great musical contributions to the Barber Band over the decades which I appreciate very much, but the right moment to send you my blessings and best wishes. I pray for you and your healing, that is for sure. I do not know what you think or know about alternate ways of healing, but if the developement would reach the point that medical doctors would give you no more chance, I guess you should NOT give up yourself but take a look for some alternate methods. You can not loose then, YOU COULD JUST WIN. Whatever will come and whatever you decide, do something good to yourself, whatever that means for you**, as often as you can. ** spending time with your family&friends, in nature or whatever, and search opportunities to laugh as often as possible. Laughing from the deep of our hearts is good in many ways for soul and body.

But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence. Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts. I always felt that the great high privilege and comfort of our friendship was that one had to explain nothing. My dear John: Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room we shall be able to see. So take care and do not worry, we will meet again! Yours Peter

Have I ever told to that you have been the main reason for a little boy way back in 1986 to start playing guitar? With your return to the Chris Barber Band you became one of my biggest guitar heroes and my admiration has never stopped getting bigger and bigger ever since. So many great memories of the nearly 100 concerts of the band I have been attending over the last 20 years of my life and so much great music that I could listen to that enriched my musical heart so much. Not enough characters in this message board to say what I would like to say. But be sure, that me and all my family and friends who adore you and your playing so much are thinking of you in this difficult time. Take care Helge

Your humour, wit and good company were priceless! Splendid memories of us and your Band at Montreux Jazz&Blues Festival and Germany on tour. You have a million happy times to reflect on at this difficult time. The exotic holidays with Brigitta, the success of your girls, the admiration of everyone who heard your playing over 45 years with the Band. Its more than a "bit of a bastard!" this time it seems, but there aint no prizes for how far we can go , only for what we do with the time we have. You should be proud that you have been so succesful in your life and made so many people happy. Luv ya! Richard & Betty

Not very well I have to say but I love to have a go and my old Gibson seems to like it too. I've seen you with your own band and of course with the CB band. I've got your CDs and I shall continue to listen to you.
"Another Sad One" is beautiful and says it all. Judy,my wife,Leah,my younger daughter (who loved your band at the Stables and who also has one of your CDs) and I,send you and your family our love and very fondest thoughts. Peter (this entry had been copied from the Chris Barber Message Board) |
