A former member of Hood in the mid-to-late 90s, alongside The Remote Viewer and Famous Boyfriend bandmate Andrew Johnson, Tattersall’s music can be found these days more often under his alias The Humble Bee; as a founder member of The Boats; and in his collaborative works with the likes of Bill Seaman in The Seaman And The Tattered Sail, Daniel Crossley in Margins and his series of releases with Thomas Shrubsole.

Tattersall founded and has run the quietly influential Cotton Goods CDr label since late 2008, designing and hand-making the signature packages of each release.

Historically (activities seemingly having been wound-up for the most part) co-ran Moteer (established 2003) and Moteer sub-label Mobeer (putting out a series of ten 3 CDR-based releases packed with specially designed beermats between 2008 - 2010) alongside Andrew Johnson.

Also co-runs the ongoing Other Ideas label with The Boats bandmate Andrew Hargreaves.

In collaboration with Thomas Shrubsole set up the Local Studies imprint in early 2015.
