The Voluntary Butler Scheme is the stage name for one-man band Rob Jones, based in Stourbridge near Birmingham. Jones records and produces the majority of his material by himself in the home studio in his bedroom.

The debut album ''At Breakfast, Dinner, Tea'' was released on 7 September 2009 on Split Records. Singles from the album have been championed by the ''NME'', ''BBC Radio 1'', ''BBC Radio 2'', ''BBC Radio 6'', and ''XFM'', and The VBS has played sessions for Huw Stephens, Marc Riley, Dermot O'Leary and Jon Kennedy. Declared "one to watch" in publications as diverse as ''Q magazine'' and ''The Sun'', even Suggs has stepped out and declared himself a fan, stating in an interview that "they are a very good band".〔(Interview with Suggs )〕 == Biography == The Voluntary Butler Scheme came about in 2008, when a chance spotting on MySpace led to Rob Jones being asked to play a gig in Birmingham. He went ahead, playing 6 songs to a crowd of about 12, and subsequently decided that he no longer wanted to play with bands and that The VBS was the path he wished to follow.〔(Split Records Website )〕 Since 2008, The Voluntary Butler Scheme has toured with Duke Special, Joe Lean & the Jing Jang Jong, Brakes, Jason Lytle (Grandaddy) & Adam Green. In July 2008 The Voluntary Butler Scheme did a session on the Dermot O'Leary Radio 2 show - performing 'Trading Things In' & a cover of 'Build Me Up Buttercup'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Voluntary Butler Scheme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
