John Thomson hosts record-breaking drumming event

Corrie's John Thomson will be back on our screens later this month as Jesse Chadwick so Ma Grimshaw had better watch out.

As well as acting, John's taking time out to host the Stick it to MS event at Guitarfest 2009. You can find out more here. It's the UK's first World Record Breaking attempt to bring together more than 600 drummers all under one roof at the Birmingham NEC. The aim is to raise the profile of drumming and to raise funds for the MS Society.

Good on yer, John.
