3 Bucket Jones
3 Bucket Jones is a songwriting collective centred around the musical talents of Gitika Partington and Andy McCrorie-Shand.
The evolution of 3 Bucket Jones started at a songwriting retreat at Monnow Valley Studio in September 2013. Gitika, Andy and Garry Hughes immediately gelled and they wrote their first song in a day. They decided there and then to form a band and set about writing songs for an album.
A self-titled debut album '3 Bucket Jones' was released in 2014. The eclectic collection of songs covers a wide range of styles that has been described as folktronica, shoegaze, moody pop, acoustic meets electro, lo-fi and ambient indie. Album was well received with songs getting regular airplay on a selection of radio stations.
Highly anticipated second album 'Take These Ghosts' was released on 8th July 2016. The album has received critical acclaim with the music garnering comparisons to the likes of Björk, Kate Bush and even Sgt. Pepper. Again the album has received regular airplay with tracks being segued next to Dave Gilmour, Kate Bush and Antony and the Johnsons.
The 3 Bucket Jones collective continues to evolve and personnel change. Garry Hughes left to pursue other projects and guitarist Bruce Knapp joined the fold. The new line up embarked on the first UK tour with the help of 5 members of the world class Tredegar Town Band and over 300 singers from across the land.
Gitika and Andy announced at the beginning of 2017 that they were planning to release a single each month for a year. First single 'Place In My Heart' was released in March 2017. Further tracks were released over the following months with the last being 'Stop For The Kiss' in February 2018. All of these tracks were brought together on 'The Singles 2017-2018' album that was released in May 2018.
On 19th March 2018, the single '2 Steps Forward' was featured by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 Music and The BBC Introducing Mixtape.
