One of Northern Ireland's finest entertainers, George Jones, captured many hearts with fun, laughter and intrigue, but it never started out that way.
When his father heard that George wanted to go into entertainment he said, You'll never get anywhere playing that auld ukulele! It rocked George's world and for many years it caused him to live against the will of his father, until a day came when his father admitted he was wrong.
After becoming a talented musician and an award-winning broadcaster, George has been entertaining us now for over five decades through the Troubles, as a singer, entertainer, television host and on the Queen Elizabeth 2 ship. In the midst of all of this came memorable icons such as Clubsound, Belfast Sadie, Shankill Airways, Belfast Belfast, and so much more.
He became one of Northern Ireland's prominent radio hosts which lead him to interview hundreds of people, from world famous personalities to people who were seeking to end their lives, live on-air. It was George's charm that allowed famous people to reveal secrets. And he gave hope to those who sought to end their lives.
Fame, fortune, wining and dining were common in a celebrity lifestyle, but no matter who we are, challenges will come and they can drive a wedge between the good and the bad times. At times he had to lift himself off the ground and start all over again.
After celebrating over fifty years together, Clubsound are now performing their farewell tour, George has reached the young age of seventy-eight and as for the rest of the loyal bandmembers; we better not disclose their ages.
When the world closed down in 2020, with Covid, those in the entertainment business along with many others, lost their income. What took place in George's life was another miracle. A gift that his sister Sally had spotted in him over sixty years ago was revealed. He has taken up painting and this gift travels around the world.
George still continues to help people enjoy that here though. So, sit back, grab a cup of tea and let's go for the ride and enjoy George's unique humour.
