Kelly Jones Is Going Solo

Having seen his first ever solo side-project go straight to Number 1 on i-Tunes, Kelly Jones will take to the stage for a solo tour next month. Backed by a string trio and armed with his guitar and that voice, he’ll perform tracks from his brand new solo album ‘Only The Names Have Been Changed’ across 9 UK dates, including two shows at London’s Cadogan Hall on April 5th and 6th.

The details are:

March
25th CARDIFF, Coal Exchange
26th YORK, Opera House
28th GATESHEAD, Sage Centre
30th DUBLIN, Vicar St

April
1st MANCHESTER, Opera House
2nd GLASGOW, Old Fruit Market
3rd BIRMINGHAM, Alexandra Theatre
5th LONDON, Cadogan Hall
6th LONDON, Cadogan Hall

Tickets are £17.50, except London (£19.00), on sale now.

Since its release last Monday, ‘Only The Names Have Been Changed’ has stormed I-Tunes internationally, with impressive chart positions throughout Canada, Europe and Australia.

“It’s not about going solo,” announces Kelly. “That’s the last thing I ever want to do. It’s more about making something spontaneous, and making it spontaneously. We were recording the 6th Stereophonics album last year and in-between takes I started doing these songs off the cuff. Three or four tracks in I realised that this could actually be something…strange how it’s always little things that makes big things happen. We didn’t wait – it was recorded January 7th and 8th and mastered by Friday 12th, which set the tone for how we’ll release it.”

In keeping with how it was recorded, an ultra limited-edition fanbase CD will be released with deluxe artwork packaging, March 26th. The limited edition release will include a bonus DVD of a live studio performance of 5 songs recorded at SARM studios in London.
