Tunes by Old Tramp

Tunes is an album of dirty beats, crunchy synths & songs chock full of
lyrical character.

A well-respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y. scene, Hackney born and Colchester based Johnno Casson delivers his first album as Old Tramp.

Johnno had built up a nest of recordings and coverage over recent years as Old Tramp and had been asked about putting an Old Tramp album out for a while now, so after adding some new mixes and doing a home mixtape of them, it was clear the songs really stand up well as a fine collection – for new ears or returning ears.

Johnno previously recorded and toured extensively with Deep Joy who were born out of the early 90’s London club scene and the early years of trip-hop. They dented the dance charts in New York, Tokyo and London and worked with the likes of the late great Andrew Weatherall (Primal Scream), James Lavelle (Mo’ Wax/UNKLE) and the legendary On-USound label founder and producer Adrian Sherwood.


For the last 13 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.

The album is also being released on Bandcamp as a one-track a month in 2021.

Johnno also lead’s a special community organisation called The Warm and Toasty Club hosting special weekly events of memory sharing, music and entertainment to tackle loneliness and isolation in older people, whilst also supporting new music artists trying to make a mark on the music game.
