Wolstencroft was a member of the Patrol, an early incarnation of the Stone Roses, with childhood friends Ian Brown and John Squire. He was also the drummer for Freak Party which featured Johnny Marr and Andy Rourke. In ''Songs That Saved Your Life'', Marr states that Wolstencroft declined to join what became the Smiths as he did not like Morrissey's voice. Wolstencroft joined the Fall in time to play on most of the group's ''Bend Sinister'' album (on which he was credited as John' S. Woolstencroft''), and remained in the band for over a decade, occasionally adding keyboards and programming to his role as well as co-writing the group's only self-penned Top 40 single, "Free Range", taken from their ''Code: Selfish'' album. He left the band following a dispute over the recording of the ''Levitate'' album (as related by Steve Hanley in "Hip Priest" by Simon Ford, Quartet Books 2003). In 1996, Wolstencroft had a daughter, Emily Wolstencroft. After, he went on to reunite with Stone Roses singer Ian Brown, performing and co-writing on his ''Golden Greats'' album in 2000. ==2014== Wolstencroft is currently a member of (Big Unit ), described on the band's Twitter profile as 'Take the Happy Mondays, Primal Scream, Stone Roses, Beastie Boys and Led Zeppelin and you arrive at...
