Comments / testimonials from Clients:
"Working with Jon has added a great deal to our album. Intuitively grasping our creative aims, he has used his extensive palate of percussive textures to great effect. We were not able to meet in person for the session, and it is testiment to Jon's musical skill and sensitive adaptability to aesthetics that we are absolutely delighted with the results. Jon combines a wide ranging and unusual selection of instruments with complete professionalism in everything from quality of recorded sound to meeting deadlines and technical requirements. We very much look forward to working with him again." - Phil Henry - Slide Guitarist.
