Grace Jones has appeared at that previously reported record breaking gathering of Jones's. That is to say, lots of people all with the surname Jones all gathered in one place, in this case the Wales Millennium centre, and Grace Jones was one of them. 1,224 people were there, pretty much smashing the previous record of 583 Norbergs in Sweden two years ago.
Anyway, Grace pitched up and entertained the Jones massive with two songs, alongside opera singers Gwyneth Jones and Gwyn Hughes Jones, and West End star John Owen-Jones. Failing to keep up with the Jones's were Bryn Terfel Jones, and Aled Jones, and Tom Jones, none of whom managed to attend the event - but they sent special messages which were read out to the crowd. Which was nice, if entirely unnecessary on Tom Jones' part, given that actually, his real name is Thomas Woodward.
Jones's from all over the world turned up for the event, which operated a strict door policy - all those attending asked to provide proper identification. Hyphenated and maiden names did not count, which seems a bit harsh, especially as they seem to have waived the rules when it came to the aforementioned John Owen-Jones...
