Gethin Jones

Most people have a passion for some kind of music; very few have the talent and dedication to master an instrument. (The recorder doesn’t count: Once a year in the Nativity Play does not a performer make!) Was there ever the possibility that Gethin could have starred as contestant on the Young Musician of the Year, instead of host? With his presenting skills and knowledge called upon again for the Proms in the Park in Swansea last year, I decided to take a closer look at Gethin’s possible music career.

No ‘Running Commentary’ - it wouldn’t be fair on anyone yet to see the show - all I’ll do is recommend you do!

Not that I’m suggesting for one moment that Gethin is some kind of stud you understand! No, it’s his Chinese horoscope sign, silly! The gun fired and Geth galloped away in a fantastic 2008, clearing all hurdles as he built on his success in Strictly Come Dancing . We begin Geth's year, funnily enough, on January 1st - on the South Bank of the Thames, where Gethin was the star attraction for the New Year’s revellers. Note that it was Gethin who was the star attraction, mind, not the London Eye or the Houses of Parliament. I don’t think the nine million people tuning ... Read Full Story

Today is the birthday of a very special man. One who made a huge impact on my life and quite possibly yours too, as we ponder how some creatures can evolve into perfect specimens, completely at one with their environments; we consider how their bodies are perfectly tuned to the needs of their own kind. And we contemplate the complexities of life, such as “I wonder if he’ll win tonight” and “Will he get his kit off anytime soon?” I’m talking about Gethin Jones - who’re you thinking of? Oh, of course - it’s Charles Darwin’s birthday too! Happy birthday to you Sticky backed ... Read Full Story
