The Ian Jones bursary is set up in memory of Settle Victoria Hall's sound engineer, technical consultant, and very dear friend, Ian Jones, who sadly passed away in March 2023. Ian was a long-standing member of the Victoria Hall family, without whose skill, knowledge, passion and experience Victoria Hall would not be the venue it is today, and we want to honour his memory by helping to train a future technician to carry on Ian's legacy.
The bursary will fund a traineeship for a stage technician, who will be employed at Victoria Hall while developing the skills and experience to make a career as a technician in the live events sector. All donations toward the fund are gratefully accepted in memory of our much-loved friend.
