HowardJones is in the house! 80s music
He’ll be joined by his good mates, Nick Beggs and Robin Boult, as they present an intimate, stripped-down trip through Howard’s colourful 40-year music career.
Howard Jones first burst upon the contemporary music scene in 1983, with his very English song-writing and pioneering synthesizers. His first two albums Human’s Lib and Dream into Action were worldwide hits. Human’s Lib #1 in 1984 in the UK and featured the hits New Song, and What Is Love? In 1985, Jones released the follow-up, Dream into Action, which quickly became a Top Ten Platinum album in North America.
He was in bands from the age of 14 and had been developing his one-man show with his performance artist, Ged, for some years, before breaking through. “We’d been doing three or four shows a night. I’d built up my own following from nothing and would take three coachloads of people per show. I’d had that preparation for it not being an easy life. I’d understood what the pressure was like. I was older, 28, before I got signed, so I was ready.
“I didn’t know what I’d do next. I suddenly realised that was the best thing that could happen. I could record my own records, book my own tours and become an independent artist. The internet was exploding and I could carve out an independent career. The 1980s was looked upon as a dreadful era of music. People didn’t want to know about anything to do with the 80s. Now we’ve arrived in this new millennium and suddenly there’s a huge resurgence and it’s regarded as a cool time for music after all.
