We took up the live music stuff, played a few gigs around pubs and clubs in Newcastle, recorded a few songs which was good fun and lived the rock and roll life for a few short years and then had to switch on for footy.<\/p>\n "But that's where it's come from, I've always had a passion for it and I don't mind playing the guitar every now and then."<\/p>\n And as pointed out by host Roz Kelly, a younger Johnson-Holmes had an uncanny resemblance to global superstar Ed Sheeran.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Force's hilarious Adele changing room tribute<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Wallabies captain's advice for Tahs in freefall<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Reds to unleash Vunivalu for Brumbies clash<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n "Yeah, not intentional," he stated.<\/p>\n "I think I was actually before him. I've got some questions for him if he ever gets to Australia. He's a goer so I don't mind getting compared to Ed Sheeran."<\/p>\n Johnson-Holmes also revealed he had taken musical inspiration from the Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks and Missy Higgins.<\/p>\n And for all the Force's Adele-inspired enthusiasm after beating the Tahs last weekend, it is fair to say HJH probably has them covered.<\/p>\n But after wowing Kelly and former Wallabies Justin Harrison and Morgan Turinui with the Williams cover, he said it would be back to packing scrums.<\/p>\n "I think this is probably the peak, probably where I cut it off," Johnson-Holmes said.<\/p>\n "I might do a few paid gigs here in there, Goog (Harrison), if you want to get me to a few lunches or something I can definitely sort that out for you.<\/p>\n "But this is my peak."<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/NSWWaratahs\/status\/1369128347318579200?s=20<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
