I saw Jon playing countless times over the last fifty years, in numerous different band settings, and he was never less than inspitational, and over all those years gave me more continuous inspiration than any other musician I have heard.

Jon Hiseman awe inspiring musician,I was sold on Coliseum from the off,as a youngster in London I got to see Tempest @ the Beeb recording studio's for the saturday night live (almost ) shows on the radio. I was an 18 year old drummer at the time and awe inspired, nicked a few of Jon's chops ( the easier ones ) such an incredible player / musician and followed through his music ever since. sincere condolences to Barbara and family I hope the tribute gets to B.C Canada....
