McFly - Back To The
Future opened in
March 2005 as part of the relaunched
pop music section on Simonswebsite.co.uk

supposed to be a sister site to a Busted
mini-site but once they split up, the site
was taken down. Since it opened, and the
closure of Sound Station, the site has
changed and grown and now relaunched
with it's fourth look to celebrate the

ready for whatever may come...

Daniel
Alan David Jones, (born March
12, 1986 in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England, commonly known as Danny
Jones, is one of the lead vocalists and guitarists in the British
pop band McFly.
Jones
grew up in Bolton and kept two police dogs as pets, and reports his main
musical influences to be Bruce Springsteen, The Who and Bob Dylan. He is
known to support football club Bolton Wanderers. His earliest break as a
teenager was when he was in a band with sister Vicky called Y2K, who
appeared on CBBC talent show "Steps to the Stars" in 2000
singing a cover of Alanis Morissette's Thank U. They made it into
the final and came 2nd. Shortly after turning 15, Jones entered two
separate competitions - an open-mic singing competition, where he sung
an Oasis number, and a songwriting competition a year later, and won
both.
McFly
McFly
rose to fame in 2004, this was heavily influenced by their association
with former band Busted who helped launch them by offering them the
position of support act in their 2004 tour. Jones met Tom Fletcher
after an audition for V however it was at the auditions that he was
approached by Fletcher and their later manager Matt Fletcher (commonly
known as Fletch). The two conversed and found they had common
interests and so began writing together. Eventually they moved into
the InterContinental Hotel in London for two months, which they used
to concentrate on writing their debut album Room on the 3rd Floor,
helped by then-Busted guitarist James Bourne.
Jones has co-written all four of
McFly's studio albums with his fellow band members. He also penned
three of his own tracks, one on each McFly album. Jones also
often takes the role of lead guitarist in most performances, with
Fletcher acting as rhythm guitar, and can be seen performing solos in
songs such as That Girl. Danny Jones is left handed but plays his
guitar right handed.
Television
Appearances
Jones
appeared with the rest of McFly in the teen comedy film Just My
Luck, which starred Lindsay Lohan. The movie was first shown in
cinemas in the United States on May 12, 2006, and the United Kingdom
on June 30, 2006, Jones has also appeared with McFly on episodes of Casualty
and Doctor Who, as well as numerous music-related shows. Danny has
also made a solo appearance in Never Mind The Buzzcocks in late 2007
and has also taken part in a Tsunami football match for charity in
March 2005 but none of the other members were present.
