Jon | Gareth | Kate | Paul Bass After deciding that playing to empty pubs would be far better than to an empty bedroom, Jon began his musical career with local heroes, Blind Suburbia. From there he worked his way through various covers bands before joining the Academy of Contemporary Music in leafy Surrey. Here he spent a year forming and quitting bands, searching for the one he truly believed in. Little did he know he would find it back in the Fens. In between playing bass, Jon works in a data centre for a well-known bank.  Full name: Jon Michael Ford Age: 23 Lives: Peterborough, Cambridgeshire Marital status: (Very!) single Favourite bass players: Jason Newsted (Metallica), Justin Meldal Johnson (Beck/Air), Trevor Roy Dunn (Mr Bungle), John Taylor (Duran Duran), Fieldy (Korn) Equipment: Yamaha TRB5, Peavey 4 x 10 speaker cab & MK VI amp, Boss ME-8 Multi-Effects Unit.
