Rodric "Rod" Iwan Pryce Jones (born 3 December 1976) is the guitarist and backing vocalist for indie rock band Idlewild.
Son of classical musician, John Pryce-Jones,[1] Jones is an energetic live performer, and his guitar playing has been described as "gritty yet melodic."[2]
In 2000 Jones played second guitar for Graham Coxon on Coxon's first solo tour [3]
In 2006, Jones recorded an album with singer, Inara George, called George is Jones. The album was due for release in the autumn of 2006, however, the project is currently on hiatus and has yet to be released. Jones notes that a release of the album is "doubtful" due to "too many problems surrounding it."[4] Four songs can be heard, however, on the duo's MySpace.[5]
2006 also saw Jones collaborate with Idlewild bandmate Roddy Woomble, for Woomble's solo album, My Secret is My Silence.
Jones released his solo album *A Sentimental Education in early 2010. In late 2011, Jones formed a band named The Birthday Suit. They will release their debut album, The Eleventh Hour on 11th November 2011.
