John Power (born on 14 September 1967) is a vegan[1] musician from Liverpool, England. He 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.
Power left 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.
It was announced in September 2006 that John Power has recorded a new solo album, that sounds "like a mountain". The album is titled Willow She Weeps; it is due for release on the Tanuki Tanuki Limited record label on 25 September, after the issue of the limited edition 7 inch vinyl single - "Jumpin Bean" b/w "Willow Weep".
