Over the years the band\nhas sold more than f ifty-five million albums and received numerous\nawards. In 2018\, along wi th the other members of The Moody Blues\,\nJustin was inducted into the le gendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.\nBorn and brought up in Swindon in the UK\, Justin’s interest in music\nstarted early when he was five years o ld and his grandfather\nbequeathed him his large collection of 78 rpm reco rdings. “It opened\na world of imagination to me\,” says Justin. Havin g taught himself to\nplay the ukulele\, he soon progressed to guitar and b y his early teens\nhe was playing in local groups. Upon leaving school at 17 he answered\nan advertisement in Melody Maker newspaper and successfull y auditioned\nfor UK Rock and Roll hero Marty Wilde. “I got the job play ing guitar\nfor Marty – it was a dream come true for me”. Justin credi ts Marty\nwith encouraging him to become a songwriter\; he made several\nr ecordings with Marty’s ‘Wilde Three’ and also appeared with\nthem at the London Palladium.
