Experience Paul Jones

Paul Jones is a highly respected British musician, singer, actor, and radio/television presenter with a career spanning over six decades. Initially achieving fame as the lead vocalist of Manfred Mann (1962-1966), he fronted the band through hits like “Do Wah Diddy Diddy,” “Sha Doobie Doo,” and “Pretty Flamingo,” showcasing a distinctive, blues-influenced vocal style.

Following his departure from Manfred Mann, Jones embarked on a successful solo career, embracing blues, rhythm & blues, and jazz. He’s released numerous albums, consistently demonstrating impressive harmonica skills – an instrument he’s become particularly renowned for – and songwriting talent. His solo work includes albums like "Now Running Free" (1971) and later collaborations with artists like Dave Kelly.

Beyond performing, Jones has been a prolific broadcaster. He hosted the BBC Radio 2 blues show for 32 years (1986-2018), becoming a leading authority on the genre. He's also appeared in television dramas such as *Between the Lines* and *The Sweeney*.
