Jed Hoile

Best known as the mime artist who danced and performed with 80's synthpop icon Howard Jones in his early days doing a one-man performance. Howard recalls "It was at the Fleur de Lis and my eye was caught by Jed's animated dancing in the corner, and I just couldn't stop watching him. It was fascinating and I thought he shouldn't be down there; he should be up here on stage." (a visual partnership that continued until 1987). Jed also appeared in some of Howard's music videos and joined Howard on stage during his 20th Anniversary special concert at The Shepherd's Bush Empire, London in 2004. Jed also was involved in the successful Winter Drum workshop, to which he invites very accomplished rhythmic artists from all over the world to attend.
