John Halliwell Jon started playing around with drums aged 14, he took it up seriously after his mother got him a drum kit for Christmas. At 15 Jon and his neighbour Gary Mullen started their first band, the first rehearsal (in Gary's bedroom) was cut short by the police because of excess volume during a spirited rendition of Queen's 'We Will Rock You.' As well as playing live in many places around the world he has also spent time working with a theatre production of a rock-opera. He has done extensive recording work with various rock bands and is featured on several albums, singles and music videos. Although recording in a studio is great fun – Jon says that playing live & loud is where he is most at home. Jon lists one of the highlights of his career as standing on the Great Wall of China and realising the reason he was there was because he hits things with bits of wood. When he's not rocking out he likes to spend time with family and friends or watching Kung fu movies.
