Not Too Late was mostly recorded at Jones's home studio and is the first album Jones recorded without producer Arif Mardin, who died in the summer of 2006. Īfter the tour concluded, Jones began recording the album with Alexander, who "tweak" the lyrics of the songs and "pulled into better shape", according to Jones. Jones had an acoustic guitar with her on the tour and wrote more songs with it than she previously had: "The guitar is simple and a lot easier to carry than a piano", she said. Jones wrote " Thinking About You" in 1999 with Ilhan Ersahin, her then-bandmate in Wax Poetic, but she thought it was too much of a pop song for her to record and rejected a version she recorded for Feels like Home. And to me, I feel that that’s something worth continuing to preserve and nurture.Jones wrote most of the songs on the album when she was on tour during 20 for example, "Until the End" was written in the South Pacific, "Rosie's Lullaby" in Australia, and "The Sun Doesn't Like You" in Brazil. The way I see it is this – No Independent venues = No music scene. “It’s a bit of a delicate ecosystem – Music makers and lovers are supported by the venues and in turn the venues are supported by bands/artists and their fans passing through.
Speaking about the news at the time, the group said: “We grew up in a place where we had no music venues at all and after living in Bristol and London, it’s been incredible to experience what it’s like to be a part of a scene to feel that sense of community that you can pin point geographically to a place, to a venue, I think is quite important and quite special particularly for emerging bands and artists. The 2022 event, which champions the annual celebration of independent music venues, will take place across the UK from January 31 to February 6. It comes after the duo were recently unveiled as next year’s ambassadors of Independent Venue Week.
Tickets go on pre-sale on Wednesday (December 1) and general sale on Friday (December 3) and can be purchased here. The band have also announced a new set of tour dates as part of Independent Venue Week, which will kick off in Manchester on January 28 before wrapping in Bristol on February 3, 2022.
