About The Encore Club
Launched in 2021 as a solo project by Will Jones, The Encore Club set out to interview bands, artists, actors, and influencers, sparking creative conversations and offering audiences a glimpse into their favourite celebrities’ dream concerts and musical tastes. Starting with a debut episode featuring the band Wheatus.
Following a brief pause, Will reimagined the show into something far more dynamic. By transforming it into a fully filmed, video-forward podcast and inviting his long-time friend Josh Taylor aboard, the show evolved into a vibrant YouTube series infused with energy and visual flair.
Will and Josh’s partnership runs deep.
First meeting in 2010 while both studied at BIMM (Brighton Institute of Modern Music), their collaboration has flourished through numerous creative ventures—from the children's channel Bebomo TV and the live music photography gig Mahoosive Photography, to their own musical projects, Dead Boat Race & Slow Clap, Walk Away. This rich creative history now fuels their chemistry on The Encore Club, turning each episode into a playful yet thoughtful journey through dream concert imaginations and beyond.
ABOUT WILL
Will Jones is the creator and relentless driving force behind The Encore Club, a man with a story you’d swear was fiction until you hear him tell it. Born with the rare metabolic disorder PKU, alongside his older brother who also has it, Will grew up under strict dietary rules in a life that was anything but controlled. His childhood was a whirlwind of contrasts: velvet ropes and police raids, famous faces and sudden disappearances, glamour and grit existing side by side.
Through every twist, music was his anchor. Will has lived it from every angle, on stage as a performer, behind the camera as a music photographer and filmmaker, and now behind the mic as a host who turns conversations into events. His sharp wit, emotional depth, and magnetic storytelling pull guests (and listeners) into the heart of their own experiences. The Encore Club isn’t just his creation, it’s the perfect outlet for a life that’s been part rock ’n’ roll fantasy, part survival story, and all heart.
ABOUT JOSH
Josh Taylor is a born entertainer with a mind wired for creativity and a voice built for connection. Growing up surrounded by music, he picked up his first guitar before most kids could ride a bike and never looked back. His path has been anything but linear, from sweaty backroom gigs to polished studio sessions, Josh has lived every side of being a working musician. Along the way, he’s honed a sharp sense of humour and an instinct for turning any conversation into an unforgettable moment.
Whether writing songs, performing to a packed crowd, or bouncing off guests in the studio, Josh brings a mix of quick wit, laid-back charm, and genuine curiosity that keeps people leaning in. He thrives on the unexpected, the unscripted moments when the best stories reveal themselves. With an ear for detail and a love for the craft, Josh doesn’t just join the conversation; he elevates it.
