They are both in their thirties, but have been playing in the studios for decades.

Tommy Johnson and Jim Self. However, these guys are a little older than in their 30's. I'm sure they would be pleased to know that someone thinks they are somewhat younger than they really are.

I'd second that - When the Royal Philharmonic in London got into Film scores and other money making ventures which were new at the time, Pat was resident tubist - he's been with the London Symphony for some time now and they have done a lot of work on John Williams film scores.

It was good to see Pat on the telly the other night, the LSO were on doing a live Prom from the Royal Albert Hall in London - Les Francs Juges was on with Elgar Symph No 2.
