About Me

“Jones has produced a superb debut album, brimming full of bitter-sweet songs with luxurious arrangements, that consummately wipes the floor with the James Blunts of this world...Unexpectedly, this is an album that craves your attention”. (The Sheffield Telegraph)************************************************** ************“Trefor Jones is definitely an upcoming talent and welcome addition to the local music scene”. (Sheffield Sandman)**************************************************** **********"It's a mature and thorough-sounding record which equally balances the songwriter's weakness for Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, Ryan Adams and Tom Waits with a basic desire to touch on subjects others will connect with." (Sheffield Star)******************************************************* *******The breezy piano-led arrangements and thoughtful lyrics conspire to give Jones’ delivery an edge that helps the melodies to stick in the memory - especially the insistent, soulful supplications of I Lost My Dreams, the marvelous opening track.” (Gog Sound, The Daily Post)******************************************************* *******"Like much of the best art, his music is full of apparent contradictions that somehow end up making sense. His songs are uncomplicated but beautifully textured; theatrical but true; bitter-sweet but full of humour, and hope." (www.benaskew.blogspot.com)********************************* *****************************“I like this. A lot.” (Jo La Fors, Sheffield Sandman)
