John Hardwick was first spotted in 1997 when two members of the band The Beekeepers had seen a short film John had made which appeared late one night on Channel 4. The Beekeepers, who were signed to the Beggars Banquet recording company, managed to track down John, they then convinced the managing director of the label to let John shoot their first video. The video for the single "Do You Behave Like That At Home?" was then seen by Blur.

Since then John has directed music videos for a number of prominent British Indie rock bands, including Blur[1] and the Arctic Monkeys.[2]
