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.
