About this listen
Jack Jones is a wordsmith with a guitar. Best known as the singer and guitarist of TRAMPOLENE and lead guitarist with Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres, Jack’s work blends spoken word, raw honesty, and melodic power.
TRAMPOLENE’s fierce, poetic rock'n'roll has won the admiration of The Libertines, Liam Gallagher, and John Cooper Clarke, with two No.1 Independent Albums and the honour of opening Swansea Arena in 2022.
Jack’s story is one of survival and defiance. By five he had beaten a bone tumour; by sixteen he was living with Crohn’s Disease. Through it all, the constants have been his blistering guitar playing and his poetry — about the struggles and dreams of everyday life, about love, about fighting adversity, about growing up in Swansea, and about the world as it is.
This audiobook gathers that voice — sharp, funny, vulnerable, and unflinchingly real.

“By turns heartbreaking and heart-swelling, this is the story of a working-class boy overcoming grinding violence to play amongst the rock gods. Every hopeless boy should read it.” —Caitlin Moran
“Jack Jones’ words light up the printed page like magnesium released into oxygen.” —Pete Paphides
