I have a lot of pleasure in presenting you with the video for my new single "All My Life" (out 24th May on itunes, the Jont shop etc)....It has been made by my friend, the director Simon Ratigan.

Thankyou so much Simon, and also Justin Stokes who assisted him on the project.

The So Happy Unlit Tuesday 9th February
Well I've got to say, I don't think I have ever been so happy in my whole life. Nothing particular has happened - no song of mine has just been chosen to be the theme tune to Paris Hiltons new tv show, I haven't received a surprise Brit Award for innocence ingenuity, and above me the sky is a blank white sheet, devoid of any iconic romantic inspiration. But it is a great day...and to celebrate we are holding the first Unlit of the year this Friday 12th February at Tim Varlow's house in Islington (email lee@unlitrecords.com for address). Anytime from 8pm is good. (Read more...)... Read More >>> 5a7f02588bdd0fe5327ec6ca79526ea1.jpg

Please - I would really appreciate you reading this... Saturday 28th November
Dear all followers of my music and Unlit! Hello!

I would be very, very grateful if you would spare me just a minute or two of your time and read this email....

As you know, for the last 12 years I have put on UNLIT. A mixture of a gig and a party, free and open to anyone, in the last 5 years it has taken place in people's houses across America and Europe. It has been an extraordinary experience to put these nights on...to witness hundreds of beautiful performances, to meet the wonderful people that always seem to turn up to UNLIT, and to experience an amazing stream of generosity and openness...

Well, why I am writing to you then?

Because - I have come up with a new concept that is similar to UNLIT and which i think you will love! (Read more...)... Read More >>>

Well, that was fun last Sunday!....Down in the tea rooms we played music, snuck brandy in to our coffee and occasionally ventured out in to the mayhem of brick lane music festival only to run back in, screaming, take our places and listen to more music....This Sunday it looks like the end of British summertime will be making its presence felt so The Unlit Stage will be in the undercover market / "Tea Rooms" again - off the alleyway just past 93 Feet East - or if it miraculously turns out to be a beautiful day we'll be in the courtyard by the double decker bus just past the Big Chill bar...(Read more)...

The Return Of Unlit... Tuesday 3rd March

End That Never Was



I woke up this morning in a state of surprise.
I pinched my arms, groped my cock, cupped my balls, rubbed my eyes,
and surmised:
"Good God, I must be still alive."
Weren't we all supposed to be sucked into a hole of anti-matter,
Where the seams of time and space were sucked and splayed and ripped and scattered?
I was kind of relying on it, kind of banking on it, which isn't very clever,
'Cos I lived last night like it really was the last night ever.

First I called my parents, said I loved them very much,
Then I called the girl I love but it went straight to voicemail,
So I went out and bought some beers, and some cigarettes,
And some fine wine, and some whisky,
And some tequila,
And some vodka,
And a kilo of rib-eye steak,
And some weed,
And some MDMA,
And some acid,
And some cocaine,
And some crack,
And some heroin.
And I charged it all to my Mastercard, which in retrospect wasn't very clever,
'Cos I lived last night like it really was the last night ever.

I sent a Facebook message about an orgy at my flat
Two hundred people came and I was happy about that,
'Til I got bored of the sexual rat-a-tat-tat.
So I took my drugs and booze and fags and headed outside,
Shouting at the passers-by "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!"
Then I saw a doddery old lady at a zebra crossing, who was blind and could hardly walk,
So I went up to her and pushed her over,
I don't know why, but whatever,
I may as well, 'cos it's the last night ever.

So now I've woken up, and my head is hurtin',
And my flat is fucked, there's even cum on the curtain.
I think I should really go for an AIDS test.
What the hell will the credit card company say?
And what karmic debts (for the old lady) must I pay?
And there's someone in my bed, I think his name's Trevor,
Still, that's what you get for living like the last night ever,
That's what you get for living like the last night ever.

(ps. we know the typed version is a bit different from the audio - we received the audio later and Mr Forbes's lyrics are a bit wordy to re-type! - Jont HQ x)... Read More >>>

London Cable St Warehouse party Unlit this sat! 11th June 2008
Hey everyone,

My friend Tom is having a party to celebrate the opening his brand new studio which he has spent the last few months building on the top floor of a warehouse at the furthest eastern end of Cable St., near Limehouse, East London. It’s an amazing space and it promises to be a huge, wild and old school party - not often these days that you get a whole floor of a warehouse to play in.

He’s asked me to organise a bit of Unlit style activity to happen in the live room of the studio before the party gets in to full swing. So this Saturday, around 10pm, there will be performances from Louie from the band Semaphore (who did a great set at the Soho Revue Bar earlier in the year), the fabulous poet Tim Clare who performed at the last Stoke Newington Unlit. So, if you’re up for it, see you down there....a sort of Warehouse Unlit special...As with normal Unlits, it is free and open to anyone who wants to come...

The House We're In Episode 2 / Single News / London Unlit & Gigs! Wednesday 9th April
Here it is folks! Having got 80 000 views of last weeks episode, Episode two of THE HOUSE WE'RE IN has now been posted on youtube, my myspace site and my website. Last weeks episode introduced you to the concept of the tour and recapped what we did out in the 'States in 2006. This weeks is the first proper show and sees us doing Unlit in Oxford meeting local Band Stornoway and self effacing songwriter Ben Walker, with a great crowd who were even happy to become a human drum
machine for the last song...you'll see what I mean...they did a good job too.

Other news is that "Candlelit", the single that is coming out on April 21st has been getting good play on 6music and Johnnie Walker's show on Radio Two. You can now pre-order "Candlelit" at indiestore.com, and for your money you will get two previously unreleased tracks completely free ("City Of The Sun" and "Mosque"). Buy one for your mum! for your girlfriend! go crazy! lets get Jont in the top...100?

The new performance of the week is taken from the Unlit at Geraldine Bailey's house in Finsbury Park, on Saturday evening I will be playing live on Radio 4's "Loose Ends" programme..and two important dates for the diary are:

1)NEXT UNLIT : FRIDAY APRIL 25TH (BERMONDSEY...address to follow)

2)MY BIG LONDON GIG: SUNDAY JUNE 1ST THE PURCELL ROOM, SOUTH BANK CENTRE.(tickets available soon from wegottickets.com, keep an eye out here ). This is the big one for me, an honour to be playing in this exquisite venue and it will mean the world to me if we can sell it out and have all the new and old supporters of my music there for one night....so do put it in your diary and come down if you can.

that's all for now...enjoy the new movie and more news later....xjont... Read More >>>
