Jon the Postman

Jon the Postman

Jon the Postman (real name John Ormerod [ [http://www.themightyboosh.inuk.com/year2001.html#dg Interview with Dave Gorman] ] ) is a former postman who lived and worked in Manchester. He was known for his eccentric behaviour at many local rock gigs during the late 1970s, including those of acts such as Joy Division and The Fall. He would often get on stage and try to sing "Louie Louie", without knowing the words. He released two albums, "Jon the Postman's Puerile" [ [http://www.voiceprint.co.uk/web/Release/OVER72CD/ Voiceprint Music - Jon The Postman - Puerile] ] and "Jon the Postman's Psychedelic Rock 'N' Roll 5 Skinners Steppin' Out of Holts' Brewery", both released on Bent Records. A further recording session known as "Jon the Postman's Legendary Lost Session" was never released, although two songs turned up on a long-unavailable compilation LP entitled "Disparate Cognoscenti" released on the Fall's now-defunct Cog Sinister label. One of the band members was called David Buckley.

Jon the Postman was portrayed by Dave Gorman in the motion picture "24 Hour Party People".
