Mark Jones is an entertaining, award-winning and experienced MC and Awards Host, hosting events in the UK and worldwide. Mark has hosted countless events around the world, from awards ceremonies, sporting dinners, black tie fundraisers, to live TV shows, charity events, concerts, festivals and more. In one 12 month period, Mark appeared in The Sultanate of Brunei, made three trips (coast to coast) across America, plus trips to host events in Malaysia, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland and Hungary. In total, 41 flights and over 123,000 miles. If that wasn't enough, he continued to host events across the UK! Mark has hosted Manchester United’s Player-of-the-Year awards annually since 2001. He was the MC for all Sky Sports' Masters Football programmes since 2001, hosting their live televised tournaments in UK arenas, plus their events in Dubai (UAE); Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia); The Sultanate of Brunei and in Macau (China), presenting the live TV interviews too. Mark has also covered Rugby League and cricket, featuring on Channel 4 and Sky Sports on the ODIs, Tests and county games around the UK. Mark covered Manchester United's, Celtic's and Liverpool FC’s American pre-season tours for UK radio too. In 2001, Mark was close (much, much too close - he was just four blocks away when the planes hit) New York's Twin Towers during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He spent the rest of the day as a Salvation Army volunteer helping First Responders and Emergency Services, and for the rest of the week, he reporting ‘live’ from Ground Zero . Mark Jones is also one of the UK's most experienced radio presenters. He was one of the big names at Liverpool's Radio City during their illustrious heyday, an award-winner (with a Sony® for 'Best Outside Broadcast') for his hosting the 'Biggest Solo Concert In History' -Michael Jackson live in Liverpool- where he entertained the crowd of over 125,000 all day from the stage. He's also introduced Paul McCartney concerts and numerous other huge live events too. Mark was regularly voted ‘Presenter of the month' and has received numerous accolades from the Variety Club of Great Britain, where he is a long-standing Barker. After several successful years broadcasting on the two Century networks (now Smooth FM), Mark returned to host a daily UK-networked programme. He was regularly heard on Manchester’s Magic 1152 (formerly Piccadilly Radio). Mark also spread his experienced wings (and tonsils) further afield, featuring on American radio stations W-E-F-T and Q-96 in Champaign, Illinois, where he also hosted the American Heart Association's black-tie fundraising dinners in 2010 and 2011, helping to raise record amounts (over $180,000) for the charity during their auctions. Not limiting his talents to radio and live appearances, Mark appeared in TV's 'Cold Feet, 'Clocking Off' and 'The Forsyte Saga' and has written and published several books, including the best-selling ‘Mark Jones’ Birthday Book’, which became the definitive UK Radio reference book.
