John Shuttleworth is a fictional character created by English comedian and musician Graham Fellows. Prominent mainly in the UK, Shuttleworth is depicted as a middle-aged, aspiring singer-songwriter from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, whose music career is humorously underwhelming and laden with domestic matters. Combining music with comedy, John Shuttleworth is characterized by his unshakeable belief in his own musical abilities, his naive worldview, and his faithful reliance on his outdated Yamaha PSS portable keyboard.
Shuttleworth's discography is a testament to his quaintly eccentric take on life, with albums like "The Dolby Decades" and "The Yamaha Years" offering a quirky mix of prosaic lyrics and catchy melodies that reflect both the everyday and the mundane. "The A1111 and Other Ones!" continues in this vein, presenting songs that are delivered with a cocktail of dry wit and earnestness. Perhaps most emblematic of his persona is the album "One Foot In the Gravy," which showcases Shuttleworth's idiosyncratic humor and the delightfully mundane experiences of his imagined life. John Shuttleworth’s creations, while fictional, have garnered a loyal cult following, with fans appreciating the combination of Fellows’ satirical songwriting and the endearingly deluded nature of his comedic alter ego.
