Early Life
John Hosier was born in the NW London suburb of Kingsbury, Middlesex. His father was Harry Hosier, the founder of the building firm Hosier and Dickenson, and his mother was Constance, a violinist. She overcame the problem of how he could play a musical instrument in childhood by having him learn the xylophone. He attended Fryent Primary School, Kingsbury, Preston Manor County Grammar School, now Preston Manor High School, Wembley and St John's College, Cambridge where he also served as a director of Footlights from 1950-1951.
