Hugh Jones is a British record producer with many important post-punk, new wave and alternative rock albums to his credit.
In the early 1970s, Jones worked as an apprentice engineer in IBC Studios in Central London, [1] while acting as lead singer in the band Mistral. He made his name in the early 1980s, with a jangly sound that was better received than those of many of his contemporaries. Though many of his early clients were big-name acts—Echo & the Bunnymen, [2] the Sound, Modern English, [3] and the Damned, for example—his recent production credits have been more esoteric, though many admire his work with the Charlatans and Kitchens of Distinction.
Jones was later closely associated with Rockfield Studios in Wales and recorded many of his most successful records there including those of Simple Minds, Echo & the Bunnymen, the Damned, Dumptruck, the Icicle Works, the Charlatans, Heidi Berry, [4] Del Amitri, the Bluetones, [5] Shack and Gene.
