Sampletons is the new name of the old "tomas & thomas" project. We make music for fun and using the sounds we like. Never the same, always new. Old guitars with new electronic sounds, all with a twist of echo on top. 

As Joe Meek once said "if it sounds right, it is right". That is our motto.

A one man band that started 1991 just for fun. During the years I got friends to help out on some songs. Help with vocals, guitars, bass. Everything. Thank you all. But most of all thank YOU for listening to my recordings! I cant believe that so many people take their time to listen to my music. 

Thank you all!

The back story

For the last 16 years Johnno has been releasing independent music under his own name, as Snippet, Old Tramp and Walken400, creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances, and having been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show, Johnno has continued to release vibrant music with plenty of bounce to the ounce.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and local council relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-USound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s stadium, and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills, whilst getting M.E and becoming a well respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene.

Johnno also runs the award winning community group The Warm and Toasty Club, running special live events for the last 9 years www.facebook.com/thewarmandtoastyclub

London based band-Johnno Casson,Stuart Dace,Charlie rabicano,Vince Gibbs ,Chad Page

A songwriter who works with many fine musicians as well as doing his own stuff.
