Jon
has been a professional musician for over 25 years and giving public
performances since he was 11 years old. He was involved with the
development of the first Digital Organ in Germany with HOHNER. Jon is
truly an International performer, having entertained thousands of people
all over the world, from Shanklin to Toronto, Scarborough to Barbados,
U.S.A., Canada, Europe, aboard cruise ships in the Caribbean. He has also
worked along with international stars in top cabaret venues and played
extensively in the U.K. delighting audiences in Summer Shows on the East
Coast and the Isle of Wight.
He has proved to be much in demand playing for Strict Tempo Dancing. His
unique style combined with his vocal talents are a rare combination adding
a new dimension to both dances and concerts. His recent concert
appearances in the UK have been well received, and although very busy with
his highly successful 'JON SMITH DANCE & PARTY BREAKS' and Dances in South
Yorkshire he still tries to fit in at least one concert performance per
month.
We are sure that, once you have experienced an evening listening to his
unique style, you will want to hear him again and again. His programme
includes music to suit all tastes, from classical to pop, jazz and theatre
organ. He has recently produced a CD entitled 'Some Enchanted Evening'
Recent reviews include the following...
Members and guests enjoyed an excellent evening on Thursday 6th June at
the Royal Hotel, Weston-super-Mare, when they were entertained by JON
SMITH making his first ever appearance at the Club. Jon gave a superb
performance on the Wersi Performer,; he was an instant hit with everyone,
as the audience warmed to him right from the start. There was no set
programme, he played just what the audience wanted, with some singing
thrown in for good measure. He was also rated by them as one of the best
performers that the Club has ever had the pleasure of listening to. This
showed in the ovation which he received at the end. Weston Organ &

A brief letter to thank Jon wholeheartedly for the brilliant concert he
gave us last Wednesday. Our members were, to say the least, impressed with
his performance. I have been arranging our concerts for over eight years
now and have been a member of our club for over 12 years. Jon's concert
must rank as one of the best - if not THE best - we have had in that time.
