Jon Gomm started playing ukulele at the age of two. Classical guitar lessons began at the age of six, and at twelve he was accompanying his
father, a music critic, to blues gigs in his hometown of Blackpool. As a teenager he played electric guitar in the style of the rock greats. Jon
Gomm has rejected mainstream music industry values and practices and avoids playing chain venues and corporate festivals. His appearances
are generally organised with independent promoters in venues like real ale pubs in rural areas, theatres or arts centre
