- Lucas Jones
Profile
Mr Lucas Jones was born on the 3rd February 1990, on a little island just off the coast of France. There is one thing, I eat, drink and sleep with and that is my ipod, which is the mecca of my music collection. I swear the book High Fidelity was written for me, as I love lists and music. My music collection includes a very varied list of artists, from John Coltrane to The Smiths to Orbital and the strange comparisons can go on. I mostly listen to Alternative or Indie music though, as I grew up with it and it now makes up a huge chunk of my musical soul. I literally spent the first year of uni and a large chunk of my student loan going to and travelling to gigs, when perhaps I should of been studying. I forgot to mention I am a massive gig junkie, I have seen over 150 bands (a list I compiled when I should have been studying before a Politics exam) and will travel far and wide to see a particular band.
