Pete Jones Book Club All Star Rock Combo Band UK LTD - Dublin Castle, London - 5th February 2020
This was a wonderfully unique one off night of fun.
The aim was to promote Pete's autobiography - They Call Me Joyless as well as to promote his solo album Contrivances For the Soul . Pete called in a few friends to help along the way .
To start the evening we had a conversation with Pete, about his life/book, chaired by the wonderfully witty Julie Hamill. Despite his Joyless tag, Pete really is quite a funny chap
We were then treated to some powerfully emotive poetry from the Southdown Laundry Club, making their debut and possibly only ever live performance.
Finally we got the Pete Jones Book Club All Star Rock Combo Band UK LTD.
This was Pete and friends playing some tracks that he has played down the years. The line up was -
Pete Jones, Leigh Heggarty (Ruts DC) Alan Galaxy (Ex-Department S ) Andy Thompson (The Tuesday Club) Spizzenergi and his guitarist Luca Commencini, Eddie Roxy (Department S)
The venue was absolutely packed and it was truly memorable, although Spizz absolutely destroyed This is Not A Love Song.
Here's the set list - unfortunately I didnt realise there would be an encore so my recording is missing the intro to Poptones.
This was recorded and has been shared with the full consent of Pete Jones - I hope you enjoy it

Pete Jones - Book & Solo Album update
I received an email the other day from Pete giving an update of his current solo projects. Having been a fan of Pete's solo work I can honestly say that I'm excited about the new album. His book also is another on my wants list. Pete's dry wit and tales of his many years in the music business is going to be a great read. More info when I get it.
Here's his update - Cheers Pete
''Hi Gang,
Joyless Jones here sending you an update on things.
The book is trundling on; I have had 4 advance edit copies printed to send to my trustworthy editors to rip apart. I'm hoping they will be kind to me. It will ruin me if one typo slips through the net, I hate that. So I'm hoping that any errors are caught soon and it all makes sense, it's around 85,000 words so there's a lot of checking to be done. I'm hoping to have the edit and re-write completed by end of the year.
My new solo album Contrivances For The Soul is almost complete, just one last guitar solo to go on and I'm hoping Leigh Heggarty from Ruts DC can get over to my studio soon to record it for me. He will be the only other musician on the album, everything else is me. Then it will go off for mastering by Pete Maher who masters for U2 amongst others.
The release date for the album is set for March 15th 2019, it will soon come around, and I may try to tie in the book and album launch at the same time, makes sense.
The current run of dates with the Rezillos has sadly come to an end. What a blast it was, such fun. Both bands got on really well, look out for some more Rezillos/Department S news for next year!
That's all for now, keep warm, stay safe and keep in touch
Joyless''

Pete ''Joyless'' Jones has a new website
Past PIL member, current Department S member and friend of this blog, Pete Jones, has set up a new website.
It's only just been created so it will get bigger and better as time goes by. It will be a guide to the life and times of Pete - past, present and future.
There are already some PIL related stories and pictures on it.

Its called 45 Revolutions - Singles 1980-2017 and will be available from 20th October 2017.

Jim Walker - artwork available
Original founding PIL member Jim Walker has been quite an elusive chap over the years. After leaving PIL Jim was involved with The Human Condition (alongside fellow PIL member Jah Wobble) and then the Pack .
Jim dropped off my radar for quite a few years but recently I have been managed to track him down. He's been involved with some film work and also has been creating some very interesting artwork, which is available to buy and unbelievably affordable prices.
The piece above was available last year from WH Smith stores as a poster and is entitled
'' Britain Shall Not Burn''
I find his work very interesting and you can buy some from his website for a reasonable price.
you can also follow Jim on twitter
Check him out, say hello and buy some art
