MARK JONES - Master of Ceremonies/Compère/Host Mark Jones would happily admit that Sportsmen's dinners and award ceremonies are his specialist subjects; he gets to meet his heroes, gets paid, and, most importantly, he gets fed. Mark has fronted hundreds of events over the years, working with many sporting idols; David Beckham, Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff, Frank Bruno, Gianfranco Zola, Ian Botham and Sir Alex Ferguson. He hosted a very successful 'sportsmen's-dinners-for-the-troops' tour of war-torn Kosovo in 2000 with Alan Ball, MBE and Jack Charlton, OBE. Mark hosted the sell-out 'Legends match' (Man Utd vs Man City) at the 21,000 capacity MEN Arena with Sir Alex and Kevin Keegan. It was a charity event for Dependents of the New York Firefighters (Mark was only a few blocks away from the World Trade Center Towers on the morning of 9/11 and reported "live" from the scene for UK radio for several days after). He's been the regular host for the past six years for the Masters' Football Series, shown live on Sky Sports and he regularly hosts the Manchester United Player-of-the-Year awards plus numerous other prestigious awards ceremonies, corporate events, black-tie charity fundraisers and golf days, etc., throughout the UK (and often beyond), including Crufts at the NEC! Mark also covered the Man Utd and Liverpool American pre-season tours for UK radio. Mark Jones is also one of the most experienced radio presenters currently on-air in the UK. Starting as a pimply youth in his hometown at BBC Radio Manchester, he graduated to Liverpool's Radio City, lost his pimples and won several awards, including a prestigious Sony nomination for his hosting of Michael Jackson's Aintree Racecourse concert, (the "biggest solo concert in history"), entertaining the crowd of over 125,000. After several very successful years at north west regional station, Century FM, plus stints on Magic 828 in Leeds and the networked Great Yorkshire Gold, Mark returned to Radio City's Magic 1548 in Liverpool. These days he often hosts a daily UK-networked show on the Magic Radio Network; plus he's regularly heard on Manchester's Magic 1152 (formerly Piccadilly Radio). Not limiting his talents to radio, Mark has written and published several books, including the Mark Jones' Birthday Book, the best seller that boasts a position as the definitive UK radio reference book! An avid sports fan (the colour green on his TV wears out first), Mark has been seen on the pitch presenting pre-match entertainment at both Liverpool and Everton FC, and spent several seasons at Tranmere Rovers. Mark has featured on Channel 4 and Sky Sports on crickets ODIs, Test Matches and county games around the UK. He presented pre-match interviews with the likes of Botham, Gower, Holding, Richie Benaud and David 'Bumble' Lloyd. Mark has recently been the man-on-the-pitch-with-a-microphone at Goodison Park for Everton's home games, plus Knowsley Road, home of World Club Champions, St Helens RLFC and Leeds Rhinos games at Headingley, and is often seen at Old Trafford Cricket Ground for Lancashire CCC's home games.
