I specialise in acoustic versions of rock, pop and folk music as well as some elements of other genres that are popular such as country music.

If you are looking for specific songs I am always happy to learn new songs and love taking requests!

I’ve been playing acoustic guitar, bass guitar and singing from a young age, spending my time between music scenes learning my trade. I later moved permanently to study for a degree in Popular Music Performance, graduating with a 2:1 and majoring in bass guitar and composition.

During my time in London, I played at the Shepherds Bush 02 Academy, Stamford Bridge, The famous Half Moon in Putney, the Electric Ballroom and the Camden Assembly, among others.

In 2019 through to 2023, I worked for Tui and then Royal Caribbean on luxury cruise ships sailing around Europe initially and then the Caribbean and Miami, Florida, playing at parties, discos, weddings, in the theatre and even part of an Elton John tribute act!

In 2024, I moved to Ireland where I’ve enjoyed playing all over the country, including Temple Bar in Dublin and the world famous Quays Music Hall in Galway city as well as venues and parties all over Ireland. Since September this year I’ve been based in Galway, where I live with my wife in a small house by the sea in Furbo.

With an extensive song list and a natural instinct for reading the room, Ken engages audiences of all ages.

A consistently outstanding performer – and one we recommend without hesitation.

Live music booking reviews from clients who previously hired Ken Jones

Ken was fantastic to work with from start to finish.

We booked him to play at a 40th birthday and he got the whole venue up and dancing!

He was very communicative before the event, asking what we liked / didn’t like, and even took requests during the gig! He’s a great singer on top of a brilliant guitarist.

I would highly recommend him for any event and he will be my first choice if I’m ever in a need of a musician again.

Live music booking reviews from clients who previously hired Ken Jones

We had Ken perform for a mixed group of adults and children at a St. Patrick’s Day event, and everyone enjoyed it, great selection of music.

He was easy to deal with, responsive, and pleasant throughout. I’d be happy to recommend him.
