Jilted John

Jilted John is the punk recording alias of Graham Fellows from the United Kingdom. He is best known for the self-titled novelty punk single Jilted John, which establishes the character and comic style associated with the name.

Recording career

Under the Jilted John name, Fellows also records the album True Love Stories. Around 15,000 copies are pressed, and it later appears on CD with two tracks by Jilted John’s rival character, Gordon the Moron. The album includes material that moves beyond straightforward punk and leans towards 1970s pop, alongside the humour of the best-known single.

Identity and style

Jilted John is associated with punk, and the project is remembered as part of the UK punk period. Fellows later drops the Jilted John alias.
