In 1976 John Miles had a worldwide hit with “Music”. This song became the anthem of “Night of the Proms”, where John was already a guest during the first edition in 1985. John has been an integral part of the tour since the start of the concert series in Antwerp, with the exception of the two years in which he accompanied Tina Turner as musical director and lead guitarist.
