Documented collaborators
JP, Chrissie, and the Fairground Boys is a collaborative project spearheaded by Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders and Welsh musician JP Jones. Built around the 2010 album Fidelity!, the duo crafted songs that explore age and love dynamics, much of it written in Havana, Cuba, after a chance meeting in London in 2008. The live band featured members of The Fairground Boys and was presented as a distinct collaboration outside Hynde’s Pretenders work. While Fidelity! marked a notable moment in cross-Atlantic collaboration, the project did not pursue a long-running tour after 2010.
