Hugh Jones is a British record producer with many important post-punk, new wave and alternative rock albums to his credit.
Jones made a name early in the 1980s with a jangly sound that aged better than many of his contemporaries' production styles, however he started out as lead singer in the band Mistral in the early 1970s, whilst at the same time working as an apprentice engineer in IBC Studios in Central London. Though many of his early clients were big name acts—Echo & the Bunnymen, The Sound, Modern English, and The Damned, for example—his recent production credits have been more esoteric, though many admire his work with The Charlatans and Kitchens of Distinction.
Jones was later closely associated with Rockfield Studios in Wales and recorded many of his most successful records there including Simple Minds, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Damned, The Icicle Works, The Charlatans, Heidi Berry, Del Amitri, The Bluetones, Shack and Gene.
