Jonny began his long journey through music playing in a band with Jane Weaver in the early 1990s. During the 2000s he let music drift away from his life. After a period of illness he realised one of the causes was not having music in his life anymore. And his kids liked messing about with his battered old telecaster so he picked it up again.

Freed from any form of expectation or objective, Jonny began to write, first howling into the Portuguese night to create the template for Silvermoon - reaching for every influence he’d had since childhood, Synth pop, TV horror shows, Tomorrow’s World, fairy tales, Top 40 7-inch singles, 80s adverts, video games, Andy Summers guitar sound, shoe gazing and 60s spy novels all came hurtling together.

On Jane Weaver’s recommendation, Jonny started recording at Eve studios with his good friend and drummer John Jennings. This studio, draped in old analogue button things and strange cavern rooms, was perfect. Over 2 years and three separate sessions the songs were carefully recorded.

A description of Jonny’s gigs in 2019 described him as a space pop romantic with tales of school discos and supernatural possession.
