Photos and review by Jo Forrest
THE amazing English musician, singer, and songwriter
Howard
Jones
was in Liverpool, on Friday, 5 February 2016, at a packed out Epstein
Theatre. This might not be the 'Last Summer on Earth' just
yet, but what a show! If you don't know who he is, he had not 1 but 10 Top
40 Hit Singles, in the UK between 1983 and 1986. 6 of those hits including 6
which reached the Top 10, and his 1984 album:- 'Human's Lib' that went to
number 1. It was a very simple set with just him sat at a piano in from of a
black background. A very intimate evening, throughout which he sang some of
his biggest hits from both the early days and well as some of his more
current work, and in between he talked about his life, the bar that he
owned, about Jed, Live Aid as well as his current collaboration with Gary
Barlow for the upcoming movie about Eddie the Eagle. A really great evening
with some 80's nostalgia thrown in that was enjoyed by all. If you attended,
please let us know what you thought of this event. Also keep an eye out to
see what's next at the Epstein Theatre, as they have lots more fantastic
gigs, like this! Thanks' Howard for letting us cover your show! If you
