John Marcangelo (born 1950, Whitehaven, Cumberland, England) is an English pianist, drummer and composer of folk rock.
He started his life in music with a band called The Invaders,[2] in Cumbria, after leaving school, when earlier intending to go to Carlisle Art College.
After leaving college in Leeds, he went to London with Kaminski and drummer John Hodgson with their band called Cow, where Marcangelo played keyboard.
Marcangelo was asked by Kaminski to record an album with Violinski, and got another Cumbrian musician, Barry Dunnery a guitarist from Egremont, Cumbria, to join them.
From the album No Cause for Alarm, recorded at the Musicland Studios in Munich, came Marcangelo's most well known composition, "Clog Dance" reaching number 17 in the UK Singles Chart in March 1979.
