Media have described John as one of New Zealands finest instrumentalists and entertainers. He was introduced to the trumpet at the age of nine and began taking lessons from the then New Zealand National Cornet Champion Vaughan McDonald. When Vaughan was selected to undertake an extensive tour of North America with the 1978 National Band of New Zealand, McGough then took lessons from Vaughan's teacher, cornet virtuoso and Musical Director of the World Champion Continental Airlines Auckland Brass Errol Mason. Errol was a world class cornet player and musical director of New Zealand's most famous brass band. Continental Airlines Auckland Brass were household names. They were the highlight of any pre entertainment All Black test at the time at Eden Park Auckland.
Music at Midday returns to Pah Homestead with an hour of free live music from 12 to 1pm each Saturday.
Auckland is rich with a diverse range of creative musical talent and we celebrate this every week. Sit down in the drawing room to enjoy the live music, or peruse the galleries while you listen to the music drifting through the building.
