The Welsh singer, a much-loved artist who left an impact on the industry, has passed away after dedicating more than 60 years to music.
Tony Jones, best known as half of the famous duo Tony and Aloma, has died at the age of 86.
Tony was a familiar and loved name in Welsh music and for decades he performed throughout Wales and further afield, appearing in cabaret shows, television shows and live concerts.
However, Tony and Aloma became very popular during the 60s and 70s, winning the hearts of fans with their music.
The duo sold more than 100,000 albums and were known for their hits, including Mae Gen i Cariad and Dim Ond Ti a Fi.
After eight years apart, Tony and Aloma reunited in the mid-1980s, bringing joy to fans who followed their journey for years.
Meanwhile, Aloma shared an emotional message through a family member, saying: “Thank you all for your sympathy and kind words, without you there would be no Tony and Aloma.”
Musicians Iona and Andrew Boggie also paid tribute to him, calling him “a great songwriter, a wonderful voice and a very lovely person.”
Additionally, record company Sain described Tony as “a friend of Sain for decades” and thanked him for his lasting contribution to Welsh music.
