John Tomlinson

John commenced his drumming career at the tender age of 8, after being knocked down by a British Gas van on his way to school!

Aged 12, he joined a brass band and at just 15 graced the Albert Hall (see the film Brassed Off for context) with his drumming talents. Once he was old enough and got a taste for beer he started touring the working mens' clubs around Yorkshire, backing Yorkshire greats such as Jane McDonald.

The pinnacle of his career, however, was when he joined Ticket 415 in 2012.
