Partner Feature – Jones Entertainment Group (JEG)

With a legacy of over 80 years in the making, Jones Entertainment Group (JEG) has branded the Canadian entertainment industry since 1933. During its first generation of brothers, Charles and Wilf Jones showcased the talents of a friend Guy Lombardo and The Royal Canadians throughout the 1960’s at Wonderland Gardens. It wasn’t before long that Charles’ son Don was following in his father footsteps and promoting his own concerts at the well-established venue.
A 20-year journey of touring later with CBC children’s icon Mr Dressup (Ernie Coombs) Don’s primary focus is on CBC radio host and best-selling author Stuart McLean, who he has been managing since 1999. Together they cover Canada coast-to-coast and the northern United States, playing over 50 live shows each year with The Vinyl Cafe.

This duo is known to be the masterminds behind London’s biggest annual music festival and local charity fundraiser, Rock the Park which fills Harris Park with 30,000 fans each year, bringing the total funds raised for local charities to over $2.2 million as of 2016. Did we mention they handle every detail from booking talent, expediting contracts and managing marketing and box office endeavours?

Today, in its third generation of brothers Brad Jones, (President) personally manages the touring careers of distinguished artists such as Alice Cooper, David Feherty, Roch Voisine, The Rankin Sisters, Cirque Sublime and more is also under the management and consulting division of the company, offering a one-stop service to festival entertainment buyers. Making up the second half of the JEG partnership, Greg Jones (Vice President) has been managing Canada’s most beloved children’s author Robert Munsch since 2004, touring over twenty-five cities across Canada per year.
Among their many talents, these brother’s are also acting controllers of London, Ontario’s landmark venue Centennial Hall, which runs a zero dollar deficit at no cost to taxpayers.

Myriah Kay, Marketing Director at Jones Entertainment Group said their company thrives on the success of entertainment talent. “It was without any hesitation that JEG wanted to be a part of #StartYourJRNY and assist with the journey’s of various young, passionate individuals trying to make a name for themselves in a very exciting and competitive industry.”

Partner Feature – London Music Hall

First established in 1996 the London Music Hall wasn’t always the place we’ve come to know and love so much today. As the former location of the first Zellers in Canada, Mike Manuel purchased the 40,000-square-foot storefront on Dundas St. in 1994. “It was empty when I bought it, but it was a good deal.” He first turned the space into a market called ‘The Downtown Trade Centre,’ when it didn’t go as well as he expected he decided to return to what was his first London business and open Cosmo City. CC was a laser tag/arcade entertainment complex that offered video games, birthday party rooms and of course laser tag! It was a hit! However, With the growth of home game consoles, Cosmo City closed in 2005. Manuel said, “It was a very good run.

You know the story doesn’t end here!
Rum Runners came to life with the decline of Cosmo City as it was only being used for parties and events at the time. The venue quickly took off and with that came the decision to open the doors of the London Music Hall in 2006. They intended to bring great live music to the community and with winning Best Venue at the Jack Richardson Music Awards & Nominated for Best Venue at the Canadian Music and Broadcasting Awards we say they sure brought it! Lauren Denault, Assistant at the LMH shared with us “With the help of the community and city of London we were able to expand and create the ultimate live entertainment experience.

The London Music Hall has become a staple to our community bringing us the likes of DeadMau5, Snoop Dogg, The Trews, Alexisonfire, Avicii, Apocalyptica, J. Cole, Afrojack, Skrillex, A Day To Remember, NOFX and so many more, always reaching every end of the spectrum so every music lover locally and beyond has something to enjoy.

Even some of our favorite local festivals & events are hosted by.. You guessed it!
Trackside Music Festival, Block Party London, Tent Party London.
