John Allan Cameron, also known as "the godfather of Celtic music in Canada", has a connection to the Border City and Saskatchewan through his family as well as his music. He is the nephew of Jim and Sylvia Broley of Marshall, Saskatchewan.

As a travelling musician and with his involvement as co-host of the kinsmen Club's Telemiracle Telethon for the past 17 years, he has become very familiar with the province of Saskatchewan. (He recalls doing a concert tour and performing in 25 shows in 28 days).

He began his professional career at the age of twelve in Inverness County, Nova Scotia, and seasoned his performing skills at local coffee houses for nine years and at several universities in the Maritimes and Onawa.

Drawing on a rich heritage of Cape Breton fiddling, bagpipes and folk tradition dating back several hundred years, John Allan continues to captivate audiences with his singing, charm and easy wit. He has taught, written, directed, produced, acted, choreographed and preached the gospel of Cape Breton music the world over. Sharing the stage with some of his favourite people over the years has included Anne Murray, Kris Kristofferson, Roger Whittaker and The Clancy Brothers.

After taking a career detour, as a teacher in London, Ontario, John Allan has been living in Markham with his wife Angela and son Stuart who is a performer in his own right.

Despite his other commitments, John Allan says he will always have time for Telemiracle. He is an entertainer, second to none.
