Originally released in 2019 to critical acclaim, Transform features several collaborations with electronica luminary BT.“I am excited about the trio tour we have planned for 2022,” says Howard. “Nick and Robin are dear friends and world-class musicians and I love performing with them. After touring the trio in America, I thought the time was right for us to bring the fun of this acoustic show back home. I will play a range of songs from the Hojo canon including the hits old and new as well as some deep cuts and fan favourites.” Howard Jones first burst upon the contemporary music scene in 1983, with his very English songwriting and pioneering synthesizers.
