There's so many things I'd like to say about Jon and so many lovely stories I could tell. I've been working with Feeder in various roles over the years - student radio plugging to start with and now regional radio and tv. The first time I ever met Jon was at Sheffield Leadmill a few years back, I was overseeing some radio interviews and he made me feel instantly at ease. First impressions last you know, and as I got to know him better and better he really was a warm and funny person and a good friend to be around.
There are some very special memories that I hold dear now like the last time I saw Jon (when we went to Porth to appear on the Pop Factory in December and Red Dragon Radio in Cardiff.) We'd had a few glasses of red wine before the radio interview and I've never heard the band funnier and more on form - despite the fact that I'd managed to tread on Jon's broken toe 3 times that day !!!
Many of the memories I have are of funny nights out with Jon, usually drunken and usually in hotels, due to the fact that they worked so hard and were always out doing promo and gigs, and always laughing ..... and that is how I will remember him always. I will also remember the fact that he was the most talented drummer I have ever come across and probably will ever come across. Feeder's music has been the soundtrack to my life over the past few years as all my friends - and most of all the band - know.
Jon, I will miss your smile, your laugh, your kind words and your dirty jokes. Sleep well my beautiful friend.
Lots of love
