Kelly Jones (b. June 3, 1974) is a Wales|Welsh musician, and the lead singer of the band 'Stereophonics'. He lived in the former pit village of Cwmaman, near Aberdare. where he became friends with a neighbour, Stuart Cable (former drummer of the Stereophonics), and they formed a covers band together. He is a perceptive lyricist, and considered being a scriptwriter before being a musician. He has a wry view of fame, and is somewhat cynical of the happiness or popularity it brings. He has had scathing remarks about some famous musicians, such as public-school-educated Thom Yorke of Radiohead, who semi-seriously see themselves as 'hard done by'. In January 2005 he performed a solo set at the Tsunami Relief Cardiff|Tsuami Relief Cardiff charity concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the biggest live music charity concert since 1984's Live Aid. ==External link== *http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/stereophon ics/pages/kelly_jones.shtml BBC Wales biography. musician-stub
