ANDY JOHN JONES
........................................
Vocals, Guitar, Musician and Street Performer
Growing up in a small town struggling to hold onto its identity in the face of consumerism, capitalism and monotony, Andy John Jones sought escapism by any means necessary. After learning the basics of his first acoustic guitar at 15, he began to frontman his first Alternative Rock band at 17 playing venues across the city of Birmingham. After four years of both solo and band work, Andy moved to London in search of a scene, an energy not stagnating but thriving.
In London I was expecting to just fall into a music scene, form a band, make a record, gain a following etc, all in the space of twenty four months but it doesnt really work that way. At first London was overwhelming. The people can be cut-throat and with little to no money its difficult to lead any kind of social life outside the four walls of your house or flat. I became quite reclusive really. All I had was my guitar, a pen and a sheet paper.
In his first recorded EP in over six years, Andy John Jones has aimed to capture the emotions and experiences of the 21st Century. Taking inspiration from the work of John Martyn, Jeff Buckley, Paolo Nutini and Nick Drake, poets such as Charles Bukowski and Dylan Thomas (who has ties with Andys own Welsh heritage via his friendship to Andys Great-Uncle the painter Alfred Janes), the piece seeks to experiment musically with genre, poetically with literary devices and emotionally, mentally with subject matter and narrative. It is a taste of the potential of this up and coming artist honing his craft upon the street corners of London.

BUSK IN LONDON
..............................
Busk in London was launched in 2015 by the Mayor of London to make busking bigger, better and easier in the capital. We want London to be the worlds most busker friendly city by encouraging public and private landowners to open up spaces where street performance can take place and at the same time raising the profile of street performance.
We're bringing together London's 32 boroughs to create a single supportive approach to busking. Busk in London is supported by the Busking Taskforce, made up of performers, local authorities, businesses, the Metropolitan Police, Business Improvement Districts, Transport for London, Network Rail, Equity and the Musicians' Union.
