Writer, broadcaster, vague entrepreneur. Jonny left his job as an advertising creative back in 1995 to plough his own furrow. Since then he has started Trunk Records, the cult British record label that has brought us some of the most beautiful unreleased film music of all time - including The Wicker Man, Kes, The Clangers and Deep Throat. Trunk Records most recent release is a lost album of Hull library music composer, Basil Kirchin, called Abstractions Of The Industrial North. Jonny is one of the UK's leading experts in film music, and has written extensively about the genre across the music press. He also has the only dedicated film music radio show in the country, OST, which goes out every Saturday on Resonance FM in London to a fine and loyal following. With this huge knowledge on the subject but also a considerable collection of rare recordings, Jonny is often employed to source music for TV and advertising, recently finding the music for Channel 4's Banzai. Jonny is also an artist in his own right, having released his debut album, The Inside Outside last year to much critical acclaim - well four stars in Mojo and The Wire etc etc isn't bad. And as a result of all this music lark, Jonny is a busy DJ, hired for interesting fashion and art evenings. Over the last year Jonny has been working on a project known as Dirty Fan Male. Based on letters written to his sister who was a porn star, Jonny wrote, produced and took the show to the 2004 Edinburgh Fringe where it became the word of mouth hit. The book of the project, Dirty Fan Male; a life in rude letters is published later this year by HarperCollins. As a result of working for five years at Portobello Antiques market, Jonny has an unusual knowlege of works of art, especially those of a sexual nature. He held the first ever exhibition of British Porn Movie Posters in London in 1999 and another exhibition is planned for the new year.
