Name: Thom Cooper

Instruments: Bass / Rhythm guitar
Affiliations: N/A
Bio: Thom has led a rich and varied life. He is the middle child of three but the relationship with his two siblings has, and continues to be, a strained one. Seeking escape, Thom eventually developed a taste for music.
Thom is a journeyman musician, having played in several bands since his teens. He has seen the world and built up an impressive selection of tales to tell. However Thom has also made enemies – most of which are annoyed that he has achieved success and condemn him as a ‘sell-out’. Thom is also married to woman named Jacqueline.

Thom came into contact with Spike through networks of musicians. Although some years apart, Spike grew to admire Thom and the two became friends – they kept in contact years later as they went their separate ways. In admiration of his friend’s success, Thom was more than happy to come down to the Planet of Sound studios and help out.




In the Planet of Sound collective Thom is the eldest and assumes a father role. He fulfils a Producer role, providing advice built from his own experience and contributing both guitar and bass when required. Although grumpy and sarcastic (borne from his experiences), he does show responsibility towards the collective and knows a good musician when he sees one.
