Howard's Club H Schedule

Did You Know?

The album peaked at number 36 in the UK, but by 2005 (12 years after its release) it was certified Silver by the BPI for 60,000 copies sold.After Jones contract with Warner Music UK expired, he concentrated on production, songwriting and running a successful vegetarian restaurant called 'Nowhere'.He started his own record label, Dtox, and produced an album, Working in the Backroom, in his own recording studio ('The Shed').

Jones' subsequent albums Cross That Line (1989) and In the Running (1992) both performed poorly, the latter even failing to chart. He had further minor hits on the Billboard charts in the U.S.during this period, including "Everlasting Love" (1989, his second #1 hit on the U.S.Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart after "No One Is to Blame"), "The Prisoner" (1989), and "Lift Me Up" (1992). With his ten year tenure on the Warner music label at an end, a greatest hits compilation The Best of Howard Jones was released in 1993.

Dream into Action was a worldwide hit and Jones' most successful album, reaching number 2 in the UK and number 10 (and going platinum) in the U.S. The album spawned the hit singles "Things Can Only Get Better", "Life In One Day", and "Look Mama". In July 1985, Jones performed at Wembley Stadium as part of the Live Aid concert, singing his 1984 hit "Hide and Seek" while playing a piano belonging to Freddie Mercury. He also embarked on a world tour reaching Japan, Australia and the U.S.In the spring of 1986 in the U.S., he released Action Replay, an EP of remixes that featured a new version of "No One Is to Blame". It became Jones' biggest U.S.hit, peaking at number 4. However, by this time, Jones' fortunes were changing in his native UK and "No One Is To Blame" peaked at a relatively lowly 16.

He is an active member of Sōka Gakkai International in the UK, and is musical director of one of its choirs, the Glorious Life Chorus.

Born in Southampton, he spent his early years growing up in Rhiwbina, Cardiff, South Wales where he attended Whitchurch Grammar School; and later in Stokenchurch, near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, where he attended the Royal Grammar School. Jones took piano lessons from the age of seven, and when he was a teenager, his family had relocated to Canada, which is where he joined his first band, a progressive rock group called Warrior. Eventually, Jones moved back to the United Kingdom, where he played in a number of different groups. He then spent a year at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.He appeared as a solo artist in local venues in High Wycombe, before inviting the mime artist Jed Hoile, who used to do improvised choreography, whilst doused in white paint, as Jones played behind him.

Jones had developed a loyal teen following, and his mother and father, Thelma and John Jones, ran his fan club.In the summer of 1984, he released "Like to Get to Know You Well", which he said was 'dedicated to the original spirit of the Olympic Games'.
