“Paul Ubana Jones’…. Soulful voice, sprightly guitar agility and enthusiasm made this the most inspired performance of the evening…. In any other country he would be an institution!”

Simon Sweetman (Reviewing Paul Ubana Jones/Patti Smith/Bob Dylan, Queen’s Wharf Events Centre, September 1998

“Trying to describe just how good Paul Ubana Jones is, is like trying to define why the Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world--- worlds pale in comparison” Evening Post

Born in London to a Yorkshire mother and a Nigerian father, Paul Ubana Jones was playing guitar by the age of 11, beginning a three decade career that would see him crossing continents and recording eight albums of mostly original songs.

After graduating from a London Music college, where he studied guitar, cello and composition, Paul began to forge the solo acoustic style that he has stuck to and developed over the years. In the late seventies Paul based himself in Provence, Southern France, and toured all over Europe and North Africa, as well as venturing extensively into Canada and the US.

In the late eighties Paul and his family moved to New Zealand, which is still their permanent home. He has continued to perform internationally, to growing acclaim. Concert performances include sharing the bill with Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Taj Mahal, Keb Mo’, Tuck and Patti and Crowded House.

Festival appearances include Dublin Blues festival, Byron Bay Blues Festival, Vancouver Island Folk Festival, Blues at Bridgetown and many others in Europe. Paul continues to perform regularly in New Zealand, Australia and Europe.
