Oh Yes It Is... Kevin Johns! is the extremely enjoyable autobiography of Swansea's all-round entertainer: performer, actor, pantomime dame, radio broadcaster, football fanatic and the guy with the mike at all of Swansea City's home games. On top of all that, he has played football with Emlyn Hughes, interviewed Tony Blair, preached sermons, sung with Bonnie Tyler and entertained the crowd at half-time during matches at Wembley Stadium. Crammed with amusing anecdotes, you won't be able to put the book down as you get to know this massive Swansea personality who is also one of Wales' best-known and most talented entertainers.
Synopsis: It is in the variety of roles Johns has played - both on and off the stage - which makes his life such an interesting story. He has played football with Emlyn Hughes, interviewed Tony Blair, put on children's entertainment at the home of the Duke and Duchess of Westminster, helped with a soup run on the toughest streets of Glasgow, preached sermons, sung with Bonnie Tyler, and entertained the crowd at half-time during matches at Wembley Stadium. Johns is very generous with amusing anecdotes and personal experiences. The result, even for those who may be unaware of him, is the feeling that one knows him personally by the end of the book - or would like to get to know him better.
