Acoustic solo blues-rock show by Laurence Jones, with special guest Amy Eftekhari, on his 2026 tour.
Laurence Jones plays The Stables on Friday 30 October, and this one is a bit different from his usual setup. He's performing an acoustic solo set, with Amy Eftekhari opening the night. If you're used to the full-band blues-rock he's known for, this is a stripped-back version: just him and his guitar.
Jones is a Liverpool-based guitarist and singer who started on classical guitar, and that background is exactly what he's bringing to the fore here. He's spent years building a name on the blues-rock circuit — he's opened for Ringo Starr, Van Morrison, Jeff Beck and Johnny Winter, and spent 2024 touring with Status Quo on their farewell tour. Buddy Guy once compared his playing to a young Eric Clapton, and that's a fair place to start if you're wondering what he sounds like. He releases his music on his own label, RON RECORDS.
This year he put out his first solo album, a tribute to his grandfather that draws on his life with Crohn's, love and life on the road. The On My Own tour takes him across the UK and Europe in this more intimate format, with stops at the Cambridge Rock Festival, Gloucester Blues Festival and Plumpton Revival Festival. The Stables date is part of that run, so it's a chance to hear the new material without the full band around it.

It's a Friday night in Milton Keynes, with Amy Eftekhari warming up before Laurence Jones takes the stage. If you've seen him with a full band before, this is a good way to hear the songs in a different light.
