Kelly Jones Praises Noel Gallagher

Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones has praised Noel Gallagher for helping him realise the importance of songwriting.

Talking exclusively to Gigwise, Jones said that emerging in such a vibrant period for British music was an eye-opening experience for the band.

“Coming up off the back of the Britpop thing and getting to know people like Noel (Gallagher) and stuff you realised that it is all about songwriting and it’s about working your bollocks off but having a good time and making it look like it’s easy but behind the scenes you’ve gotta fucking put the graft in,” said Jones.

He added: “There are too many bands that want it and if you don’t want it as much as they want it then they’ll have it, so it’s up to you really."

Stereophonics will release their sixth studio album, ‘Pull The Pin,’ next week (October 15th).

Meanwhile, you can read a full feature with Stereophonics exclusively on Gigwise later on today (October 9th).
