Blind Mr. Jones were a British shoegazing band of the early 1990s, from Marlow, England.[1]
The original line-up was Richard Moore (vocals, guitar), James Franklin (guitar), Will Teversham (vocals, bass guitar), and Jon White (drums).[2] They signed to Cherry Red, and the band's first EP, Eyes Wide, featured guitar parts written by Slowdive's Neil Halstead, and the Crazy Jazz EP featured harmonica from Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood.[3] Flautist Jon Tegner was added after the first EP, giving the band a distinctive sound.[4]
The band released two albums before splitting up in 1994.[2]
