Jo Callis

John William "Jo" Callis (born 2 May 1951) is a British musician and songwriter who played guitar with the Edinburgh based punk rock band the Rezillos (under the name Luke Warm) and post-punk band Boots for Dancing, before joining the Human League.

Biography Callis was educated at the Edinburgh College of Art. He was a member of the Knutsford Dominators before forming the Rezillos in 1976. In the same year, he joined both Boots for Dancing and the Human League.

In the Human League, he played keyboards and lead guitar and contributed as a backing vocalist. He co-wrote many songs and, following his departure from the band in 1986, returned several times either to play keyboard or to help with songwriting. He co-wrote the band's 1990 hit "Heart Like a Wheel" together with former Rezillos bandmate Eugene Reynolds. The track was produced by Martin Rushent.

In 1985, he teamed up with Feargal Sharkey to write Sharkey's "Loving You", which reached number 26 in the UK Singles Chart.
