Howard Jones Solo, Elise Yule<br />
Huntingdon Hall|Saturday 13th February<br />
Synth pop legend Howard Jones is performing in Worcester at<br />
Huntingdon Hall in February.<br />
PREVIEW<br />
It was in 1983 that Howard Jones first burst upon the music<br />
scene with his catchy songwriting, and pioneering synthesizers.<br />
His first two albums, Humans Lib and Dream into Action, brought<br />
Howard a host of hits including Things Can Only Get Better, What<br />
is Love?, Pearl In The Shell, Hide And Seek, and No One Is To Blame,<br />
which reached No.1 in the US. He broke America when his second<br />
Album Dream Into Action went top ten there. He played some big<br />
outdoor gigs and even played keyboard for Ringo Starr on his<br />
American tour.<br />
Although many of his best known songs were composed on a<br />
piano, Howard’s use of synthesizers and his work with music<br />
technology was influential to many electronic artists, at an exciting<br />
and ground breaking time in pop music. His musical style has<br />
developed and transformed over his career. His band now is a high<br />
tech electronic project with Jonathon Atkinson on electric drums<br />
and Robbie Bronimann on sequencing and additional key boards.<br />
He is a successful offspring of the early ‘independent artist DIY’<br />
approach, which is dominating the modern vibrant electronic<br />
scene. He has worked with Contemporary electronic artists such<br />
as Eric Prydz and Cedric Gervais, who he collaborated with on a<br />
new version of ‘Things Can Only Get Better’, that earned 14 weeks<br />
in the dance charts in 2013.<br />
Howard has sold over 8 million albums across the globe. His<br />
intimate solo shows are a trip through Howard's 30-year music<br />
career.<br />
