The popular Corkman has been an adjudicator at The Hot Press Rock Awards, The Dublin Theatre Festival, and last year picked up a ‘Fairplay for Airplay Award’ for his support of the Irish Music Industry.
John has also presented numerous live radio and TV simulcasts including “The Dublin International Piano Competition,” “Musician of the Future” from the National Concert Hall Dublin and “Messiah” for Channel 4.
John Creedon’s work has brought him to the Middle East, Africa, China, India, Australia, The Arctic Circle and all over Europe and North America. His great passions include theatre, live music, travel, gardening, angling, natural history and sport (particularly, following his beloved Cork City FC in the National League).
