Jono's musical talents..

It may or may not come as a surprise to you to hear that Jono has also tried his hand at singing! Personally, I'm glad he stuck to the whole radio thing.. But that's not to say we can't have a giggle at his expense! Here's a track that he recorded with cabaret singer Ricky May in 1983.
 

 
Watch this space because I will be uploading more of his singing antics soon.. Dano.
