The webmaster, north Bucks

         By this time, Howard was simply huge and the Humans Lib album had gone very big indeed (No 1 in fact). This gig was part of the Humans Lib tour and featured a rotating stage with Howard’s rig. A decent gig by any stretch and a recording of this gig went on to feature on BBC’s In Concert series a few weeks later. I can still remember vividly that full version of Human’s Lib and the story of Ruth, David and Dennis. As a bit of useless trivia, I won the ballot at Earth Records for the huge Humans Lib advert/backdrop!

what happened next
Howard Jones          

  One of three local acts to go big in 1983 (Marillion and Kajagoogoo the others), Howard kept on getting bigger and bigger playing the country's biggest venues by 1985/6 and had many successful singles and albums (including the No 1 Humans Lib in 1984). Also appeared at Live Aid 1985. Howard still makes records and gigs today and in 2008 celebrated his 25th anniversary (since New Song) with a special gig at the London Indigo2. In 2012, Jones toured Human's Lib and Dream Into Action, only previously performed in the UK in 2010 at the Indigo2. He is still performing and recording in 2015.
