John Paul Jones Interview Clip and DVD

A news-clip of John Paul Jones backstage at the Øya festival in Oslo last week has turned up. While mostly in Dutch (at a guess), Jones does have a couple of clips discussing his playing with Supersilent, who Jones played with at Øya.

The clip also shows Jones recording with Susanna Wallumroed and Helge Sten.

The clip can be found here, and starts at the 7-minute and 6-second mark.

Jones will also be doing a small UK tour with Supersilent in November. Tour dates are:

Nov. 14: Birmingham - Town Hall
Nov 15: Glasgow - The Arches
Nov 16: Manchester - RNCM
Nov 17: Bristol - Arnolfini
Nov 18: London - Village Underground

Jones also announced via his homepage that last September's Sunflower Jam, a London concert featuring various members of Deep Purple and others, will be released on DVD:

 The Sunflower SUPERJAM 2012 was a unique event that brought together some of rock music’s true legends at The Royal Albert Hall making the iconic venue rock like never before. Now, for the first time, The Sunflower Jam charity is raising money by producing an exceptional DVD of this once-in-a-lifetime event. Watch Alice Cooper, Bruce Dickinson, Brian May, Ian Paice, John Paul Jones, Mark King, Alfie Boe and a host of other amazing musicians ‘jam’ on one of the most famous stages in the world.  
 Plus, also included is a bonus DVD with highlights from The Sunflower SUPERJAM 2011, including the last ever, live performance from the legendary Jon Lord. The DVD will be released exactly a year on, on September 16th 2013 but it will be available for preorder from Tuesday 20th August 2013 at 1.00pm via www.thesunflowerjam.com.
The DVD, due out September 16th,  is £19.99 and can be pre-ordered directly from the Sunflower Jam webpage.
