Jones was lead singer of Jimmy and the Boys and went on to direct some of Sydney’s leading arts festivals.
Ignatius Jones, the lead singer of 1970s shock rock band Jimmy and the Boys, has died after a short illness.
“His friends and family will remember Iggy as a bon-vivant, a lively raconteur and a real Renaissance man, immensely and passionately knowledgeable in history and the arts. Jones was born in the Philippines in 1957, and the family later moved to Wahroonga, where he attended St Ignatius College in the same year as former prime minister Tony Abbott.
