Howard Jones New Year 2024




Hi everyone!


Big Thankyou to all for the your amazing support during 2023. We celebrated 40 years since the release of the first single and I have to say this year was incredible.

It started with the 80’s cruise to Mexico. 2 shows on the ocean. Then in April, I recorded Daryl’s House with Daryl Hall which was finally aired December 6th on YouTube.




I got to join Ringo at the Greek Theatre in April for a couple of songs and then jam with BNL at the Greek a couple of weeks later. The tour of USA was a blast with Boy George and Culture Club and Berlin!

We released a new 'Best of'.'Celebrate it Together' with Cherry Red combining the Warners era and my Dtox label, and you contributed your brilliant memories to the Fanthology book - 'Were In This Together'.



I got to record my favourite interview of the year with Colin Murray for BBC Radio 5.


We toured the trio in Canada and Japan with the wonderful Nick Beggs and Robin Boult. The 40th anniversary tour of the UK was a highlight for me ending with a sold out homecoming gig at The London Palladium.

So now I’m just gathering some energy for 2024. We have been invited as special guests of my friends Andy and Paul of OMD to play the O2 in London on March 24th.

I have exciting proposals for touring later in the year - watch this space! Cherry Red have some cracking new releases for you during the coming year including surround mixes from Stephen Tayler and Dolby Atmos mixes of some vintage Hojo tracks from Bob Clearmountain.

So... sending you my best wishes for a restful holiday time and a fulfilling 2024.

The world is in a troubling place and there is great suffering on our planet. I still believe we can make a huge difference wherever we are. A smile, an encouragement, a listening ear ...it all counts ...everyone is important and has loads to offer.

Thanks once again for creating a space for my work in your life.


Huge love,
Howard

Howard Jones ‘Celebrate It Together’ -
The Very best of Howard Jones 1983-2023


To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Howard’s recorded music career our friends at Cherry Red Records will be releasing a brand new ‘Very Best Of’ compilation to celebrate this occasion.

For his 40th anniversary, Howard wanted to create a truly unique collection. ‘Celebrate It Together The Very Best Of Howard Jones 1983-2023’ is the first anthology that looks at his entire catalogue, from the original version of “New Song,” all the way to a 2023 Elephant Talk remix of it that recasts it within a modern electronica context.*

It includes songs from his classic Warner-era catalogue, as well as work from his independent Dtox label.

For ‘Celebrate It Together’, Howard has personally chosen to group the songs into four categories: “Popular Hits,” “Electro,” “Chill,” and “Curiosities.” He wanted to elevate this selection of songs beyond the typical chronological approach and create themes that mix and match different pieces from different eras, with the overall listening experience top of mind.

The Celebrate It Together – The Very Best of Howard Jones 1983-2023 is released on 6th of October as a 2CD, 4CD Clamshell Box Edition and a 2LP Translucent Mint Green Editon.
 



* Available on the 4CD and 2CD formats only.

Howard Jones has released his second single ‘My One True Love’ from the forthcoming album ‘Dialogue’ which is due for release in September of this year. Dialogue will be the third album in a set of four. The first two being ‘Engage’ and ‘Transform’.

Of his inspiration for the track, Howard recalls

'This song came from a horrid lockdown dream where I was fearing losing the most precious love of my life. “The truth of our love has always been the root of my darkest fear”. What a relief when we wake from a hellish nightmare and realise it is just a dream. It makes me want to cherish the people I love even more.'

Howard


The single is a digital release and is available on all music stores:

Howard’s first single, ‘I Believe in You’, released last month (8th April), is also available on all music stores:










Upcoming American Tour



Next month (June 2022), Howard will begin his long-awaited tour of the USA with special guests Midge Ure in support of the upcoming release of his new studio album ‘Dialogue’.

'I am beyond excited to be touring the US this summer with my great friend Midge Ure. The tour will be a celebration of being together, enjoying the power of live music again. Expect plenty of hit songs as well as cuts from my new album DIALOGUE.'

Howard


'What a joy to be touring North America with my friend Howard Jones again. With the emphasis on technology, quality and performance I am looking forward to dusting off the synthesizers, cranking up the guitar and playing with the brilliant musicians who will be sharing the stage with me. We first collaborated live together back in 1989 on Howard’s ‘Cross the line Tour’ which holds nothing but great memories for me, so I am hoping to not only rekindle those but add new ones to the memory bank.'

Midge Ure


Tickets are available now from howardjones.com

On Friday 8th April Howard Jones releases a brand new single 'I Believe In You'. This single will be the first release from his forthcoming album ‘Dialogue’ due for release later this year.

'I Believe In You' was the first song I wrote in lockdown. I noticed that a lot of people were losing confidence and suffering from a lack of contact and support from each other and I wanted to put out a message of encouragement. I believe in you and your amazing potential! I recorded a Nightingale singing his little heart out from my studio window and it felt like he was sending me a message ...keep your spirits up! That’s what you hear on the outro of the track ...let those bad weather clouds go shimmering by!'

Howard


The single is a digital release and is available on all music stores:

This 5CD box set encapsulates the very best of Howard Jones’ BBC Session and live concert performance broadcasts. In the period between 1983-87, the BBC broadcast four different Sessions by Howard; two of these for the Kid Jensen Show and two for the Janice Long Show. This 5CD box set contains all 19 of these Session tracks including the complete “White Tape” demo recordings that Howard gave to the BBC to broadcast as his second Session in May of 1983.

The box set also includes three “In Concert” live performances and the previously unheard complete Oxford Road Show performance that was simulcast on BBC Radio 1 and BBC2 on 15th March 1985.

As Howard himself said in conversation with sleeve note writer Anil Prasad; “This set is a really valuable, historical document. You hear me before the first album was released, after I’ve had success, my evolution from a solo performer to a band-focused performer, and all of it happened across only four years from 1983-1987. There’s so much variety in the sessions, even among songs that appear multiple times. It’s a series of snapshots from a very important time in my career. It’s fascinating for me to listen to and reflect on so many years later. I hope the same holds true for the fans as well.”

Cherry Red release a reissue of In The Running

Our friends at Cherry Red Records are releasing a special edition of the 1992 album ‘In The Running’. The album is being released as a 3CD/ 1 DVD set and on LP. The album is being released on April 30th 2021 and is available to pre-order now.


Limited Edition 140gm translucent clear vinyl.



Cherry Red Records is both delighted and proud to announce the newly remastered and expanded release of Howard Jones fifth and final long player album for Warner Bros, “In The Running”. • Released in April 1992, the album was produced by Jones with Ross Cullum, whom he had worked with on his previous album Cross That Line. Rupert Hine (who had produced Howard’s first two multi-million selling albums Human’s Lib and Dream Into Action) was the album’s Executive Producer and it was mixed by Bob Clearmountain. • “In The Running” marked a conscious move away from the use of electronic instrumentation towards more piano based melodies. It is the most deeply melodic recording that Jones had made up until that point, full of meticulously-crafted songs that focused on personal, societal and environmental concerns. • There was also a stellar array of guest musicians that featured on this album including Richie Hayward from Little Feat, Dean Parks from Steely Dan, Mark Brezecki from Big Country and Midge Ure from Ultravox.

For full track listing and info or to pre-order, click here...




Deluxe Expanded 3CD + DVD set.



Packaged in a digipack with a fully illustrated 16-page booklet containing a brand new sleevenote and track by track annotation about “In The Running” by Howard Jones as told to acclaimed writer Anil Prasad. • Featuring an expanded selection of previously unreleased studio versions, edits, instrumentals, live versions and remixes plus newly remastered tracks. • Also includes versions of a previously unreleased ’93 Remix of Howard’s biggest hit ‘What Is Love?’ • Includes a DVD (NTSC/Region Free) containing a brand new interview with Howard Jones from October 2020 discussing creating the “In The Running” album, a Track By Track Commentary, TV appearances as well as Promotional Videos of the album.

Dtox Records is proud to announce the release of
Howard Jones - Live At Siyan
on Friday 11th December 2020

When we finally got home from the US trio tour in March this year amidst gigs being cancelled and anxiety at every turn, it felt good to be in Somerset and in one place for a while. Lockdown was a novelty for a short time and then reality kicked in. The realisation that I can no longer do what I love to do hit home and suddenly for all the amazing musicians and technicians that I work with everything abruptly came to a halt.

I really felt the need to connect with my amazing fans around the world and having seen Laura Marling’s beautiful streamed performance from The Chapel in London I was inspired to have a go at a live stream show myself. It would mean at least 20 people would have some work and I could encourage people not to give up hope in a global pandemic.

I couldn’t really involve the band or Nick and Robin as I didn’t want to put them at risk. I thought the best thing was a solo piano gig with good sound and camera work. It turned out to be one of the most challenging gigs of my life. It was like recording a double album live in front of fans around the world with no audience feedback. I recorded everything as I rehearsed to instil the pressure of nailing every aspect of the performance... after all the audience would have ringside front row seats!

I wanted to focus on songs that seemed relevant to our situation and I wanted to pick out lyrics that reflected this. Going back to High Wycombe, where so many things kicked off for me, and reuniting with Siyan (the company who did my very first light show) was quite surreal. I thought that the stream would be a ‘one night only’ affair but on listening to the mix that my great friend Stephen Tayler had done for me I thought that with a few tweaks it would make an interesting album recorded in a unique and unprecedented time. I’m very excited to release Live at Siyan. It is a very personal recording capturing some of my favourite hojo songs. I always like to play a cover and I have always been haunted by Lazarus from DB’s Black Star album so I wanted to include this tribute to my favourite artist.

This is a limited release - numbered and signed and I hope you can enjoy it as we look forward to Winter turning to Spring and a vaccine on the way. I hope this last 9 months has not been too painful and anxious for you and your loved ones and that we can all look forward to embracing each other again instead of gazing upon our virtual avatar selves over Zoom.

With my best regards,
Howard



The CD release is strictly limited to 1000 numbered copies and they will be sent out in the order they are ordered. Each copy has been signed by Howard. Orders will open for the CD at midday (12:00 GMT) UK time on Friday 11th December from the new dtox Shopify Store.

Thank you from Help Musicians



We wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who supported Help Musicians. Your kind donations from the streamed concert last month raised £1723. As you know, the current situation is having a severe impact on professional musicians, many of whom are self-employed.

Thank you for supporting live music.

We are delighted to announce a Howard Jones Live Streamed Concert from Siyan Soundstage, High Wycombe on 2nd August 2020 - limited to just 1000 tickets!

The Concert will be an intimate solo piano concert with Howard featuring songs spanning his 35 year career.

Howard’s career began in the early 80’s when he lived in Green Street in High Wycombe and he returns to the town where he spent his formative years for a special one off streamed concert which will be broadcast live on 2nd August 2020. The Concert will be streamed from Siyan, a High Wycombe based company. Howard and Siyan started their music journey together - Siyan providing small rigs for small gigs like the Nags Head and eventually lighting Howard at Madison Square Garden and the Albert Hall. ‘I wanted to somehow provide a quality live experience for the fans in 2020’ states Howard, who had numerous shows postponed in the UK, Europe and America due to the pandemic. ‘We were greatly inspired by the sound and visuals of the Laura Marling streamed concert from Union Chapel London, and the innovative company Dice who made the streaming incredibly easy for the fans.’ Inspired by this, Howard approached Siyan, who provided the lighting and production for his recent Transform Tour to work with him on this special solo streamed concert. ‘I want the show to sound and look good and to establish a new way to bring music to my fans when touring is not possible.’ The Concert will be an intimate solo piano concert with Howard featuring songs spanning his 35 year career, and will be limited to 1000 tickets which will be sold via the Dice Platform and will not be available after the live stream. The shows can be viewed on a phone, laptop or internet connected TV.



Tickets to view the stream online are now available at four times globally:

UK & Europe - 8pm BST / 9pm CEST
North & South America - EAST COAST 8pm EDT
North & South America - WEST COAST 8pm PDT
Monday 3rd August
Australia & Asia - 8pm AEST



Please pay extra attention to the event time zones and be careful to choose the most relevant event for your location. Please note the streams will not be restricted to the territories above, these are indicators to help determine which time zone is best for viewers.

The show will be streamed as a live experience, and will not be available to view online following the event. Please note during the event you will not be able to pause, rewind or fast forward the stream.

When the show’s about to start, the link to join will appear on your ticket, or you can access the stream link that we’ll email you on the day.

There will be an option to donate to Help Musicians UK a charity Howard is supporting which is helping artists and musicians suddenly faced with no income as venues are closed in the pandemic.

There will also be an option to purchase a T Shirt. Please note that shipping the shirts, particularly overseas, may take several weeks.



We are all excited about being able to present a performance this Summer and we look forward to joining you on August 2nd!

Howard Jones 2020 New Year newsletter...

Sending you very best wishes for the holidays and a super fab New Year. I want to thank you for your amazing support this year 2019. I counted 75 shows and I hope you enjoyed them.

It was great to release a new electronic album Transform and get the thumbs up from fans and the press!

It was great to collaborate with BT on a few tracks on the new album as well as work with Robbie Bronnimann my longtime accomplice. I know you wanted a new electronic record from me and this felt like the right time.

We were fortunate to do shows in the UK, US, Canada, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Japan, and for the first time South America. It felt like a world tour and I am so grateful to everyone for turning out to see the shows.

These guys seemed to enjoy it...

Next year I start off with a North American tour with the acoustic trio featuring Nick Beggs and Robin Boult. For a full list of dates and tickets visit howardjones.com/tickets

Then some band gigs in Sweden and Germany, then 14 Let’s Rock festivals around the UK and Ireland. I don’t know if you were able to hear the 80’s Classical broadcast we did for BBC radio 2 but it turned out right nice. You can listen again by clicking here...

This was in Leeds this Summer.

In the Autumn we are taking that show to arenas around the UK with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The orchestra behind me on Hide & Seek gives me an unbelievable transcendent experience every time.




On January 1st I am releasing a new remix of ‘The One To Love You’ remixed by the excellent producer Lifelike. We performed the single on German TV for the new year, performing in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

The remix is available by clicking here...

I hope you realise that I am blown away with the support you have given me and I hope that the touring and the new work honours your loyalty.

I have gone over to a plant based diet this year out of concern for climate change. I’m driving an electric car and have had solar panels installed to help power the house. Every bit counts. Anything we do makes a difference. I’m hoping for electric planes and tour buses in the near future... please Mr. Musk.

Anyway I look forward to seeing you soon on the road.

Please take good care of your health and well being.

Very best wishes,
Howard

What Is Love?


Today celebrates the 35th anniversary of the release of 'What Is Love?' Howard's second single which peaked at number 2 in the UK charts.

Commenting on the lyrical themes of ‘What Is Love?’, Howard says his philosophies have not changed, “I feel the same as I did then, which is that for a relationship to work, to be really in love with somebody, you have to know who you are. And they have to know who they are. And then you kind of face the world together, rather than you clutching to the apron strings of the other person for their support. This is my philosophy about that, really. You can't be dependent on another person. You have to know yourself so that you can then stand on your own. Only then can you have a great relationship with somebody. So that's really what that song is indicating.”


To celebrate the release of Howard's debut album 'Human's Lib' and a new album entitled 'Transform' a UK Tour has been announced for May 2019 (shows outside UK to be announced).
Click here for tickets...

Additionally Cherry Red records are releasing multi format remasters of the album including an extensive deluxe box set.

To cap things off Warner Records have released a new orchestral version of 'What Is Love?' on a new album called 80's Symphonic which is out now.

Message from Howard...

I had a fabulous time early in the year with 38 solo acoustic shows all round the US. Thanks to everyone who came out to those It was also a major blast unveiling the worlds first David Bowie Statue in Aylesbury (well worth a visit to Aylesbury to check it out) and a great home coming gig for Friars in the evening.

Since then I’ve been in the studio flat out working on new tracks which I am very excited about, particularly a collaboration with the amazing artist BT. Looking forward to Summer festivals and a trip to Canada in the coming months. I’m also very excited about the new super box sets of Humans Lib and Dream into Action which will be released later this year on Cherry Red. It’s loaded with unheard rarities (audio and video) and comprehensive sleeve notes from Anil Prasad. Have a wonderful Summer.

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are weathering the turbulent times in good spirits. It seems like a time for us to stand up for the things we value.

It has been a busy year with a ton of gigs and great experiences. It was great to tour the US with OMD and BNL this Summer and I enjoyed my solo 'acoustic' tour of the UK and a chance to catch up with many wonderful supporters.

I have been busy with new work too. A couple of songs for the Eddie The Eagle soundtrack 'Fly' which I will include on my next album and likewise I'm working on a song for an animated movie Animal Crackers which will be released in April.

We are heading off to Australia in November with the wonderful Kim Wilde and then I'm  straight to the US to visit some of the places I missed out in the Summer.

Japan gigs in January then Feb. in the US then I'm looking forward to a solo tour of the UK in March. I'm hoping to expand my sonic palette for this tour with a cool new set of classic keyboard sounds called Keyscape.

We are playing festivals in Early summer '17 in England with an expanded band and longer set, then a headline tour of the US late Summer. I'm desperate to get a new album out next year so any spare time will be devoted to that. Thankyou for supporting me all this time! As you can see I have decided to get out and be busy while I still enjoy it so much.

It's always a pleasure to play for you and create new ways to present the music and of course work on new tunes. It's always great meeting you after the shows too. Please take extra good care of yourselves. See you out there at a gig somewhere.

Big Love to you and your loved ones.

Howard

Howard Jones ENGAGE App launched...

The brand new pioneering Howard Jones ENGAGE App has landed on iTunes and Android stores.

With the ENGAGE project we wanted to challenge convention and work on ways for the audience to really become part of the show, part of the whole experience. Working with Spacestream.com we have developed the pioneering ENGAGE App.

"We have developed this fantastic App which uses leading edge technology whereby Howard can broadcast images, video clips and messages directly to the audience during the show, right from the stage"
explains Simon Fletcher the company's MD.

Imagine 1000 smartphone screens receiving co-ordinated video images triggered from the stage during the show!

The ENGAGE App is free and available on the links below. It also contains a bonus track 'The Human Touch'.

Howard Jones ENGAGE update...

Sorry to be a bit quiet on the update front… Artwork, audio, and authored DVD files have been delivered to the manufacturer for the digipak of ENGAGE. Ian has spent 4 days at the printers overseeing the embossing for the Engage book and we hope to have pictures from him soon. I’ve completed 3 piano solos with one more to do, the written lyric sheets I’m managing to keep up with and I’m pleased with the way they look.

I’m in New York at the moment doing a couple of shows so when I get back I’ll be gearing up for the Engage performances which are even more exciting now that Simon Fletcher has developed the howard jones ENGAGE App so we can trigger images from the stage to your smartphone during the show! (We will let you know when it’s ready for download) I think we are breaking new ground with this so please don’t miss it!

Love to all

'Voices Around The World' release 'Unshakeable'

The Voices Around The World is a wonderful project which features 3500 children from over 42 countries uniting to record one song. The song is called ‘Unshakeable’ and is written by Howard.

'Unshakeable' has been more than a year in the making, beginning in January 2013 when VATW gave several hundred schools and youth choirs free online access to MP3 recordings of the different choral parts and then watched the buzz grow as more and more schools and choirs joined in.

The choirs rehearsed and submitted their audio recordings for mixing onto the final release and many schools also provided video clips and photos of their rehearsals, recordings and performances. These have formed not only the video to accompany the single but also a 15-minute musical documentary showing how the project has come together.


You can listen to this astonishing recording, download the song and watch the video by clicking here...
"I am very excited about the Voices Around the World choir release of Unshakeable. It was amazing to work with so many wonderful young people's voices from around the globe and I hope they are happy with the mix! I was fortunate to visit the recordings in Latvia, Dubai, and Kent here in the UK and I hope that the students from all around the world will feel a deeper connection with each other through their participation in this exciting project. Thank you to everyone who took part."

Howard Jones will start a new eight-part weekly radio series on Absolute 80s on Sunday 1st September with free exclusive live track downloads available at the end of each show. Each show can be heard each sunday at 6pm GMT on Absolute 80's at:

absolute80s.com

or in the UK on Digital radio.
 
At the end of each hour long show, Jones will offer listeners a weekly free downloadable mp3 track, recently recorded at a live and exclusive session at Absolute Radio’s studios. Each live track will be accompanied by YouTube video performances for listeners to view and share with their friends.
 
Listeners will be directed to an online registration form at www.absoluteradio.co.uk where they will receive a weekly confirmation email and link to download a new live performance mp3. The performance videos will be hosted in a special Howard Jones Playlist via Absolute Radio’s official YouTube channel with links from the Absolute 80s Facebook and Twitter pages.
 
Jones received positive feedback when he joined Absolute 80s back in 2011 and hosted the weekly radio series ‘Howard Jones Electronic 80s’. In 1983, Howard Jones first burst upon the pop music scene with his electronic pop anthem and pioneering synthesizers. He took the mid to late eighties by storm with his high energy gigs and albums ‘Human’s Lib’ and ‘Dream into Action’.
 
“It is a great pleasure to be joining my friends at Absolute 80s again to present another series of shows,” says Howard. “I’m really looking forward to sharing my stories and experiences with the listeners and playing some great music."
 
The Absolute 80s radio series dovetails Jones’ 30th Anniversary concerts at London’s o2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire (Nov 29) and Birmingham o2 Academy (Nov 30). The 30th Anniversary celebrates the release of Howard’s top five debut single “New Song” (1983-2013).

Hi you lovely people,

We are extremely excited to be going to North America following the wonderful UK festival shows this summer.

More dates are now confirmed for the US tour with Andy Bell of Erasure as well as a show in Washington DC and a show in Tuscon with Men Without Hats. The last date is in Mexico City which will be my first ever Mexican gig.

Preparation also continues for the 30th Anniversary shows in Birmingham and London in November. Starting in September, every week in the run up to the November shows I plan to reveal a 30 second audio clip of the new pieces for the show, so that you are a bit more familiar with them. There maybe some choruses that you might like to join in with at the concerts. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone at the US and Mexico shows.

Can't wait,
Cheers Howard

New Year Message

Hi everyone, I hope you and your families are well.

As we hurtle towards another year I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your enthusiastic support.
It has been a busy year with the completion of the box set project making all the 1st five albums available in lovely remastered form. I am very pleased with the way they turned out and I hope you enjoyed some of the rare tracks we were able to include.
We managed to take the DIA/HL tour around the world visiting Japan, Australia, the UK, and the US, and it was a blast to play those albums for you.
A couple of highlights of the year for me were "The song that changed my life" documentary and the Voices Around the World project

I hope you are able to download my New Year gift to you of 4 tracks that were recorded live for the documentary.
https://soundcloud.com/howardjonesmusic/sets/howard-jones-new-year-gift-set

to download the songs to your computer, click on the song title and then select the download arrow under the waveform)

Next year will be the 30th anniversary of the first single release and it seems like a great excuse to do something special again. I'm planning a show or shows for the end of the year which will feature new music and video composed primarily for live performance and a selection of my favourite tracks from the whole hojo canon. In the new music I hope to write specific parts for audience participation and I hope you will feel like joining in the fun of this (parts will go out before the show).

We also plan to release a DVD set of all the promo videos to date with remastered audio in the box set format.
Who knows what else might happen!
Once again thank you for another memorable year!
Couldn't have done it without you!

Please take good care of yourselves!
Happy New Year
Love
Howard Jones

PRESS RELEASE:

1,000 schoolchildren share in global recording of song by Howard Jones

Over 1,000 schoolchildren from around the world, including well over 100 IPC and IMYC member schools, are featured on a charity song written by Howard Jones. The song is now available for download from the Voices Around The World Website www.voicesaround.com and the video is accessible on YouTube at

http://youtu.be/qqNY1j7nmwc

The children have all taken part in the Voices Around The World project; a global charitable recording of a song called Building Our Own Future written by British singer/songwriter Howard Jones. More than 300 schools from countries as far and wide as Namibia, USA, India, Japan, Brunei, Australia, Latvia and Malaysia submitted recordings of the song for the collaborative recording.

Organiser Laurie Lewin says “This marks a huge success on a no budget/not-for-profit project so imagine what we could do if we had a budget! The project has clearly brought a lot of enjoyment to schools and produced some high quality singing. The aim has always been ‘to link up the voices of young people around the world through music.’ We want to build on this next year, possibly setting up video conferencing between schools involved, we want to push towards making a documentary about the process from birth of song ...through to the final recording release. We will need funding to expand into these areas and so are actively looking for this in the coming months. Anybody who knows anyone who would like to help sponsor the project, please let us know. Howard has already produced an amazing song for the coming new project for 2013. It’s called ‘Unshakeable’ and we will be letting schools know all about this very soon. Our target will be to make the biggest world youth choir ever and to get as many young people around the world involved as possible.”

This year’s project was the first time that a global recording involving school children on such a large scale had been attempted. “We have learned that young people will produce some amazing work if you give them the chance and raise the expectations for them,” says Laurie. “And we’ve learned all kinds of tricks and techy things that should make the project run even more smoothly next year.”

Schools have already begun signing up for next year, including several IPC member schools. All they need to do is to register their email address on the website www.voicesaround.com

Howard Jones, working with Roland UK raised £9100 for 'Three Men On a Bike' fund which is being split between Children in Need and Music For All, two very worthwhile causes.

31st December 2011

Hello All,

I am wishing you an earth shakingly good New Year for 2012.
This year has been about getting those box sets sorted...and yes.... there is a new one coming in the New Year including: One to One, Cross That Line, and In the Running, with a couple of extra cd’s of rarities. It feels like with the release of this, the “Warner Years” will be fully brought up to date and the tracks sounding at their pristine best, thanks to the wonderful remastering of Mr Bronnimann. The DVD of the O2 show was completed and I am very happy with the way it turned out.

Gigs didn’t really start to get going until June this year and I enjoyed the US touring and some great UK Festivals in Perth and Henley. Gothenborg in Sweden was another highlight and it was great to get the video side of the show working on a touring basis. I have to offer up my highest praise to Jonathan Atkinson for his mega electronic drum contribution to the shows and of course the irreplaceable Robbie B.

Thank you for supporting me once again with the re-mastered releases and the new DVD. Thanks to all who turned up to the shows .....they were some of the most enjoyable in my career so far. I really enjoyed hosting and choosing the music for the Absolute80’s radio shows ....I hope you were able to catch them. I hope I will get the chance to do this again sometime.

I’m looking forward to the Japanese tour and the 8 date tour of the UK , a trip to South Africa, and another visit to the US. Who knows what else may turn up but I’m sure it will be a blast. As an independent artist I remember that my relationship with you ...my supporters.... is paramount, and I hope you will continue to let your feelings be known about how things are going. I really hope to get some new tunes underway this year. They will probably be of a strictly electronic nature.
I feel that live shows will continue to be the way that people engage with my music most, so I will devote a lot of time to developing this.
I hope that you will spend another year making your unique contribution to the world we share and working for the happiness of others as well as your precious selves.
My deepest respect
Howard Jones

ps thanks to those behind the scenes, especially David, Joe, and Glenn

The promoters were hoping for 1500 ticket sales but it turned out to be a complete sellout with 2,750 tickets sold and 300 turned away. He encored with the Killers’ ‘Human’ as a tribute to Salt Lake’s Brandon Flowers who had apparently been in line for a Howard Jones in-store signing back in the nineties.

On 3rd September, Howard drew the biggest audience of the 2011 season to the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas.

It was in 1983 that Howard Jones first burst upon the contemporary music scene with his very English song-writing and pioneering synthesizers. Anyone who was around in the mid to late eighties will remember those high energy gigs and his first two albums Human’s Lib and Dream into Action. They lived in the higher reaches of the album charts in the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Canada, Australia and many other countries in the 1984-86 period and the hits kept coming....New Song, What is Love? Pearl in the Shell, Hide and Seek,(which he performed at Live Aid in 1985), Like to Get to Know You Well, Look Mama, Things Can only Get Better, Everlasting Love and the quintessential No One is To Blame, which reached No.1 in the US.

Now Howard Jones has re-mastered those first two classic albums ‘Human’s Lib’ and ‘Dream into Action’ and played them both live in their entirety for the first time on November 6th 2010 at the IndigO2 in London’s O2 Arena Complex. This two-album show is being repeated throughout 2011 and 2012 at selected venues. The re-mastered albums and a special re-mastered box set of the 12” mixes were released in March 2011 and a DVD of the IndigO2 concert is now available from www.howardjones.com

A classically trained pianist, Jones applied his technique to the early synths particularly the Roland Juno 60, the Jupiter 8 and the Moog Prodigy. He also pioneered the classic Roland 808 drum machine and the Sequential Pro-One. In the early days he was triggering sequencers live on stage whilst playing and singing, something that no one had done before.

These days he still operates on the cutting edge of today’s technology and has been one of the leading exponents of the Roland Fantom G8 and the Roland V-piano. Many contemporary giants of the dance world have shown interest in working with Howard which has resulted in tracks such as ‘And do you Feel Scared?’ with Eric Prydz and ‘Into the Dark’ with Ferry Corsten.

Jones continues to tour extensively and will be playing multiple dates and festivals in 2012 with Robbie Bronnimann on live sequencing/sampling and effects using Ableton Live and various controllers, and Jonathan Atkinson on electronic drums.

Always one to take chances, Jones continues to write great songs inspired by his Buddhist beliefs as is evident on his latest studio album ‘Ordinary Heroes’ which features a string quartet on every track and one of the best Welsh male voice choirs in the world The Morriston on the song ‘Soon You’ll Go’.

But 2012 will mark the return of one of the true eighties icons and godfathers of modern electronic dance music in full electric mode. If you were too young the first time around it’ll be a chance to find out where all those beats and sounds came from, and if you were around it’ll bring all those memories flooding back.
