Platform One Students To Meet Musical Director And Keyboard Player From One Direction 

Platform One music students are being given the opportunity to meet the musical director and keyboard player for the boy band One Direction.  

Jon Shone will be chatting to degree lecturer and host Andy Booth in front of a live audience about his career to date and experience of touring with some of the most successful acts in the world.  

The seminar, Inside the Industry, has been planned with first year commercial music  degree students as part of an Event Management module.  

Module lecturer Andy Booth said:

“This module gives students the chance to understand and recognise the process of  hosting a professional event”  

“We hope that this seminar will inspire the students and give them some  encouragement towards achieving their goals in the music industry, as well as a great  end to their year of study." 

In addition to working with One Direction, Shone has also been musical director for other well-established artists such as Olly Murs, Michael Bublé and Bryan Adams.  

Prior to his work as an MD, Jon was the string arranger for the Radio 1 Live Lounge, as  well as the resident pianist and arranger for the hugely successful ITV show X-Factor.  

The seminar will take place on the 4 June at Strings Bar & Venue, as a student only event.
