Byron Jones Byron was born in 1949 in Risca, Gwent, South Wales - hence the name of The
Welsh Wizard. As a child, he showed great promise on the piano, and then later on the
organ. He played in a local church, and developed his style over the years. Whilst still
at school, Byron played at the local chapel, and then progressed to the working mens clubs
of Wales when he was a teenager, and accompanied many of the big stars who came to Wales
appearing in cabaret - Donald Peers, Ruby Murray and many more. He later progressed to the
larger clubs, where he would be engaged to play for artistes straight from the London
Palladium. Since then, and over the last twenty years, Byron has played for many Summer
Season Spectacular shows, made countless radio broadcasts and made many television
appearances, as well as making his own records and tapes. Byron has his own Music Society
of some six hundred members, and is very well patronized at all of his performances. |
