JON SMITH


JON SMITH 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.



Jon with his Wersi Performer



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 - see below for concert list.

We are sure that, once you have experienced an evening listening to his unique style, you will want to  hear him again and again.

Read some reviews ...

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 & Keyboard Club

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.  Leeds Organ & Keyboard Club
