Jones, who will performing songs by The Clash on tour for the first time since 1982, told NME he is “totally honoured” to be involved with the event.

He explained that he was encouraged to play the gigs after the success of a similar benefit gig in Liverpool earlier this year. Jones said: “It was just a fantastic, fantastic thing. I was very pleased to be asked and it went so well, so we thought we’d might try and do some more.”

He will also be joined by singer-songwriter Pete Wylie and Liverpool band The Farm for the six shows, which kick off at Cardiff‘s University Solus on December 1 and end on December 10 at Glasgow‘s O2 ABC. More special guests for the tour are set to be announced soon.
