Biographical notes:

=== Biographical notes === ---- '''JOHN GOW''' (1764-1826) was a Scottish-born leader of a fashionable band, a musician, composer, music shop proprietor and music publisher who worked primarily in London. He was the fifth son of the famous Dunkeld fiddler-composer Niel Gow. John regularly played for the Highland Society in London, the Caledonian Asylum (from whom he received an honorary medal in 1822), as well as other venues, and was nearly as renowned as his one-year-older brother, Nathaniel, who was based in Edinburgh. John and Andrew Gow were the London music publishers for the Gow publishing concerns of Edinburgh. For more information, see Paul Cooper's excellent article "Nathaniel Gow (1763-1831) & John Gow (1764-1826), Band Leaders & Publishers" at Regency Dances [https://www.regencydances.org/paper022.php] ----
