Laurence Jones is an award winning and critically acclaimed blues rock artist form 
Liverpool. He has supported the likes of Sir Ringo Starr, Van Morrison, the late Jeff Beck 
& Johnny Winter & was recently the support act for Status Quo on their farewell summer 
tour in 2024! “He’s like a young Eric Clapton” – Buddy Guy
Laurence is known for his loyal following across The UK & Europe and recently teamed 
up with The Music Venue Trust on a 32-date tour to support grassroots and independent 
venues around the UK.
This time Laurence has booked his whole UK tour working closely with promoters he 
has built up relationships with and venues he wants to give back to where he started. 
This year will also see the debut release of his own record label RON RECORDS in loving 
memory of his Grandad Ronald Redcliffe. Laurence says “I’ve been lucky enough to be 
signed to major record labels from the age of 18, I’ve been on an incredible journey 
which I’m very grateful for and learnt a lot in the studio, I’ve signed 4 record & 5 
publishing contracts over my 15 year career. I wanted to finally own the music I make 
and give back something special to my fans. The hardest things in life are the simplest
things, and I really hope this album comes across authentic, real, and tells a story about 
my journey with my Crohn’s disease, life on the road and love! It’s one of my proudest
moments to be able to release this whole project under my own record label, work 
close with the venues and have a small team around me that I trust. I’ve found it very 
hard with my Crohn’s to be on the road with long journeys and the constant toll the band 
takes physically on my body. I want the show to have an intimate feeling but at the same 
time I’m always ready to blues rock it, this time a bit more traditional”. LJ
Going back to his roots, Jones will be embarking on a very special debut solo album 
tour. Laurence says ‘I’ve waited 15 years to bring it back home to the blues music and 
pay homage to the music I love. I feel these are some of the best songs I’ve written, you 
can’t hide behind just one guitar and a vocal. I’m excited to push my musical 
boundaries as I first started on the classical guitar when I was just 8 years old. I’ve 
always wanted to get back up on the stage on my own and combine my experience of 
the blues with my classical guitar training. I can say I have suffered my fair share of my 
blues having an invisible illness Crohn’s Disease. I have challenged my real-life blues 
into these songs; I wrote the album when I was having a Crohn’s flare over Christmas 
last year and it’s my most personal album yet.”
Laurence has won many awards and accolades over the years, selling over 50,000 
albums & reaching a Top #40 in The Netherlands and a #1 blues record in the Official 
Jazz & Blues UK Charts. From achieving grade 8 distinction on the classical guitar from 
The Royal College of London at age 18, to being voted ‘Best European Guitarist’ in the 
European Blues Awards & earned his place in ‘The Hall Of Fame’ in The British Blues 
Awards for receiving the award ‘Young Artist Of The Year’ for 3 consecutive years
