Prog-Watch 808
This week on Prog-Watch my special guest is Peter Jones of Tiger Moth Tales, Red Bazar, and Camel! Pete released not one but TWO albums last year, so we have plenty to talk about! Of course I’ll also be spinning lots of great music along the way!
Peter Jones (born 6 October 1980) is a British musician whose multi-instrumental skills range from vocals to keyboards, piano, guitar, bass, saxophone, clarinet, recorder, whistles, and various percussion instruments.
Jones lost his sight at 15 months due to retinoblastoma, a form of cancer that attacks the light sensing portion of the eyes. He took to music learning his variety of instruments. He first came to prominence on the TV show Star for a Night in 2001, performing with his friend Emma Paine. The two teamed up again as 2 to Go in the first season of the TV series The X Factor. A national tour followed.
Jones has recorded and produced his own original music under various names including Tiger Moth Tales. He also works with the band Red Bazar and previously recorded with the Colin Tench Project. In 2016 he was selected to join the band Camel, replacing Guy LeBlanc who had just died after a long bout with kidney cancer.
Since 2015, Peter has presented a bi-weekly radio show on Progzilla Radio, entitled Tales From The Tiger Moth. His two latest Tiger Moth Tales albums, Still Alive and The Whispering of the World, are the main focus of this program.
