With a career spanning almost four decades in music, theatre, and television, Jon English is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most loved and versatile entertainers. Jon's dad, Syd, was a self taught pianist, guitar player, and drummer. Syd bought Jon his first guitar when Jon was 15, after Jon's big sister took him to the Sydney stadium to see the Beatles in concert in 1964. It was about then that Jon decided he might like to become a rock star too. After teaching himself guitar, Jon joined his first band a year later. One of the first songs he ever sang on stage was 'Twist and Shout'. Ironically, one of Jon’s teachers in high school wrote on his school report 'lacks the discipline and self control to ever become a success.' To read more about Jon, go to his wikipedia page.
