#80s #NewWave #Story

If you’ve ever owned records, cassettes and CD’s at different times in you life or still do this is your place Subscribe below right now to be a part of our daily celebration of the rock era with exclusive stories from straight from the artists and click on our patreon link in the description to see our brand new show there.
Welsh poet Brian Harris once eloquently wrote, "To be born in Wales, Not with a silver spoon in your mouth, but with music in your blood and with poetry in your soul, is a privilege indeed."
He wrote this in 1967 and you might say he was a bit of physic Because he perfectly describe THE WORLD’S VERY OWN Synth Pop Poet, Howard Jones or as he’s affectionately know by as his fans Ho Jo. A singer and songwriter for the ages HoJo’s music has always lifted our spirit when it is toiled with regret or sadness. I remember the first time I heard "No One is to Blame" when I was 9 years old in our jeep wagoneer, on the way to a family reunion.
I had found out at the last minute that instead of having the reunion at a water park, we had switched to a big cabin, with no swimming pool, possibly a small stream, just enough to get our feet wet. As you can imagine my 9 year old soul was devastated, so when I heard the lyrics “You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can’t have a swim“ it resonated deeply with my plight and it instantly raised me up, because Howard knew exactly, even literally what I was going through.
At that moment, as I sat transfixed by this delicious slice of dreamy synth pop I was transformed into a fan for life. My story is no different than the countless millions of other fans from Blackfoot Idaho to Bogota, Columbia and thousands of miles in any direction. Howard has a knack for enclosing a plethora of intricate and assorted emotions inside three or four minutes, all entrenched in walls of prosperous and lush synth magic. It’s a world that anyone can experience with the touch of a play button.
Howard Jones was born in South Hampton England to Welsh parents. He grew up in Rhiwbina, Cardiff South Wales. the eldest of four boys, all of the HoJo’s brothers became musicians. At just 7 years of age Jones started taking piano lessons. In his teens his family moved to Canada. He formed his first band, a prog rock act called Warrior. He retuned to the UK for college, where he went to the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester through the mid 70s and hopped around to different bands.
