 Graham Fellows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His musical talents are usually expressed through his Yamaha organ, and include such greats as "Pigeons In Flight", a song which Shuttleworth attempted to have selected for the Eurovision Song Contest.
Essentially decent and benevolent, but with a fatal lack of self-awareness, the unfortunate gap between his actual musical talent and his steadfast belief in the possibility of his eventual pop-stardom is the main source of the character's tragi-comedy.
Fellows is also notable for a hit single in 1978 under the pseudonym Jilted John with the song "Jilted John".

 BBC - Coventry and Warwickshire Stage - John Shuttleworth Review
He advised us not to buy a house near where students live, as they are never about during the day to keep an eye on your property, but to buy one near loads of old people as they're "always looking out of their curtains".
John finished with a great rap song that, as he said, turned the genre on its head as the song was about old people hating and "dissing" the young as opposed to the other way round!
When John returned for his encore he produced another four songs before seeing on the CCTV that somebody had nicked some of his wood from back stage.

 JILTED JOHN: Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Rabid Records, a new wave label based in Manchester, England, received a recording of "Jilted John", composed and performed by an actor named Graham Fellowes.
Rabid released this semi-monologue concerning the woes of a young lover, and were soon so overwhelmed by demand that EMI had to take over its marketing in 1978.
Fellowes slipped into his Jilted John character in media interviews - a few similary gormless appearances on BBC Television's "Top Of The Pops" pushed the record to number 4 in the UK chart - and necessitated the issue of an album and an "answer" single by John's rival, Gordon The Moron.

 Bloco Vomit - Never Mind The Bossa Nova - Reviews
The songs include "Jilted John", "Pretty Vacant", "Roadrunner" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" The bizarre thing is that it really does work, the percussive inventiveness, especially an incredible bass sound, giving a whole new dimension to classics like "Oh Bondage, Up Yours!" In a further twist, they all cross-dress for live performances.
They've gone into a Jilted John song now Gordon is a Moron - Mad Scots men who mix punk rock songs with Brazilian samba drumming - LATINO PUNK ROCK!!!, apparently they're into cross dressing and usually have puppets with them on stage, hang on, this is what we want, not this Pepadine/Smug same-old-shit crap.

 BBC - Beds Herts and Bucks - Entertainment - Jolly good Fellows!
Graham experienced early success in the music industry with his hit single 'Gordon is a Moron' under the name Jilted John, something which still gets him recognition from people today.
But it also was to eventually aid and inspire the creation of John Shuttleworth, himself a 'talented' musician with an unnerving desire to land that one big hit.
With John's appearance in Fawn Again closing the Hemel comedy festival, Graham is looking forward to returning to the Old Town Hall.

 Music: Tiny Tunes (Weekly Alibi . 01-10-00)
Chronicling the romantic and social misadventures of an awkward adolescent in a charmingly adenoidal Mancunian drawl, the songs are lyrically dead-on and musically wonderful.
The hilarious "Baz's Party," the downright sorrowful closer "Goodbye Karen" and "Jilted John" itself, in both the album version and its far superior, punkier single version, particularly stand out.
Impressive both as a social narrative and as a killer pop album equally in debt to the Buzzcocks and the Bonzo Dog Band, True Love Stories is a peculiarly English classic no doubt highly influential to arch '90s Britpoppers like Pulp, Momus and Blur.
