Description

Jont Live At 12 Bar Club, London For OnlineTV

Jont always takes the stage with the audience rather than in front of the audience. While he is commanding his performance his warm comradely banter in between songs, explaining the song, how it came about, and what it is about allows the fans to enjoy an intimate performance with the artist. His voice wraps around the lyrics in a sort of mystical experience that is enhanced by his harmonic guitar picking.

For a couple songs Jont is joined by Matt Deighton and they do some amazing songs. Well worth watching.

The short I picked for this set is where he talks about a dream with Bob Dylan that was the inspiration for the song “A Zimmerframe For Mr Zimmerman” and it does allow you to hear his intimate introduction and all his attributes in a single song.

There is some electronic glitches in the first minute or so, the rest is incredibly good quality for the age.

Who is Jont

Jont was born Jonathan Mark Smith Whittington and is known as Jont for his works in the world of art, music, and entertainment. Jont left University and set out as a musician, fronting his first bands; Your Baby and Funnybone, but his light was calling him elsewhere. He moved down to London and set about shop at our fabulous 12 Bar Club in London. Lucky for us as we broadcast him and most of all his groups AND have it all in the archives. Amazing. This residency at 12 Bar Club was called Unlit. Over the next five years he would play host to and perform with such artists as Tom Baxter, Polly Paulusma, Solomon (later to become The Duke Spirit), Boo Hewerdine, Archie Bronson Outfit, Adem and Antonio Forcione. You can find Jonts long discography here.
