Graham Jones
Graham Jones is the author of the best-selling and widely acclaimed Last Shop Standing, the definitive account of the demise of Britain’s independent record shops. Graham’s book has since inspired a much admired documentary film of the same name that features many well-known musicians - including Paul Weller, Johnny Marr and Billy Bragg - as well as many record shop proprietors. Kipper Williams draws for The Guardian, the Sunday Times and the Spectator and exhibits and sells his original artwork at the Chris Beetles Gallery in London.
