Howard Jones is a pioneering British musician and singer-songwriter with a rare talent. His synth pop and new wave hits helped to define the 1980s, and to this day his extraordinary ability is widely loved.
The formerly flame-haired star, alongside David Bowie was the face of new music in the decade that music got experimental, fresh, new and paved the way for a new dawn in music. His talents took him to Live Aid and saw him sell singles and albums by the bucket load. He has had 10 chart-topping UK singles and 5 chart-topping albums. His 1984 debut album Human's Lib even made number 1 in the UK charts and spent an impressive 57 weeks therein.
That album and the following hits like 'Things Can Only Get Better', ‘Pearl In The Shell’, ‘What is Love?’, ‘Hide And Seek’ (performed at Live Aid), ‘Like To Get To Know You Well’, ‘Look Mama’ and ‘No One Is To Blame’ soon featured in the charts. He has sold 8 million copies of his albums worldwide and has become one of very few British solo artists who are said to have scaled America.
Today, Howard headlines at a number of corporate events, music festivals, private parties and concerts, with his glittering live show which offers an incredible light and sound show. Not short on wow factor even today, Howard dons statement suits and turns down the lights where you will see him and his band in the midst of a UV light show, playing the songs that rewrote the 80s.
Howard can bring down the house or if your event requires it, provide a toned down musical masterclass. His efforts have forever been popular with his long-standing and loyal audience, while he continues to gain new fanfare today. With such distinction and talent on display and an unrivalled versatility, Howard is a consummate professional and musical expert.
He has been a regular at festivals in recent years and is due to entertain at Rewind Festival South in August 2018, while he is a favourite with Holborn's branch of Pizza Express, performing at many of Pizza Express Live nights. The star brings songs and stories to intimate and large events, taking requests and enjoying audience interaction.
