Jack Jones

“Deeply intelligent welsh punk poet with a story to tell - The last great British rock and roll guitarist, Leading a generation; 'Alcohol Kiss' is the song of the decade” - Alan McGee.

"This book is not celebrating darkness, it's a cry from the darkness. Jack is on fire. He's the hero, the anti hero. That person who kicks up a fuss. Fights to get out and to change his life. His voice is somehow drenched with harmony and humanity, something rarely found. He's not saying look down here, look how great it is, he is saying how about giving us a fuckin' hand out. I love him, we need this kid." Peter Doherty “By turns heartbreaking and heart-swelling, this is the story of a working-class boy overcoming grinding violence to play amongst the rock gods. Every hopeless boy should read it.” Caitlin Moran “If you needed proof that Jack Jones is one of the finest young wordsmiths in the country, then now you have it. This is a thing of beauty. Underground darling. Sweaty gigs. Catchy songs. Quirky poems. No one does it better. ” Tim Burgess “Jack Jones’ words light up the printed page like magnesium released into oxygen.” Pete Paphides
