Far From Saints have been touring festivals after releasing Let's Turn This Back Around earlier this year.

But Jones, who set up his new band with Patty Lynn of The Wind And The Wave, said since the pandemic and the UK's break from the European Union it has become harder to make money from taking music on the road.
