Brendan "Jonesy" Jones (born 3 April 1968, Sydney) is an Australian radio presenter, media personality and motorcycling enthusiast.
Career
Brendan Jones began working in radio on the community radio station 2BCR Bankstown for six months. In 1990 he scored a night job at 6KA Karratha, Western Australia, followed by mornings and afternoons at 2NM Muswellbrook and then afternoons at i98FM Wollongong, both in New South Wales.
His biggest hosting gigs have been late nights on B105Brisbane, afternoons with 4MMMBrisbane and 2MMM Sydney afternoons where he achieved the highest daytime figure for the station at 17.9%, then on mornings and then drive. He also hosted a national countdown show called Planet Rock.
Jones is currently presenting breakfast radio on WSFM 101.7, with Amanda Keller. The show became the number 1 FM station in 2005 with 8.9% audience share defeating Merrick and Rosso. On his first day at WSFM he received more than eighty complaints after an ill-fated call to the terrorist hotline, it was later proven that Jones had fabricated the call in an "Orwellian" stunt. He has a centre-left political viewpoint.
Jones was born in West Wyalong, New South Wales and turned professional in 1999. He spent several seasons playing on the Japan Golf Tour, where he has won 13 tournaments. In 2005, he was a member of the PGA Tour. Despite finishing in a tie for second at the B.C. Open, he narrowly failed to win enough money to retain his tour card. In 2007 he won three events on the Japan Golf Tour and he has featured in the top 100 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
Saint Brendan of Clonfert or Bréanainn of Clonfert (c. 484 – c. 577) (Irish: Naomh Breandán; Latin:Brendanus; Icelandic:(heilagur) Brandanus) called "the Navigator", "the Voyager", or "the Bold" is one of the early Irish monasticsaints. He is chiefly renowned for his legendary quest to the "Isle of the Blessed," also called Saint Brendan's Island. The Voyage of Saint Brendan could be called an immram (Irish navigational story). He was one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland.
There is very little secure information concerning Brendan's life, although at least the approximate dates of his birth and death, and accounts of some events in his life, are found in the Irish annals and genealogies. The first mention of Brendan occurs in Adamnan's Vita Sancti Columbae, written between 679 and 704. The first notice of him as a seafarer appears in the ninth century Martyrology of Tallaght.
Brendan is an Irish masculine given name in the English language. It is derived from the Gaelic name Breandán, which is in turn derived from the earlier Old IrishBrénainn. The mediaeval Latin form of the name, Brendanus, has also influenced the modern English and Irish forms. Variant spellings of Brendan are Brendon and Brenden. In some cases it is possible that the given name Brandon is also a variant of Brendan. A variant spelling of the Irish Breandán is Breanndán
Etymology
The EnglishBrendan is an Anglicised form of the IrishBreandán. This Irish name is derived from the Old IrishBrénainn. This Old Irish personal name, (pronounced [br'ēn-in'], is derived from a borrowing of the Welsh language word breenhín, meaning "a prince". Both the English form, Brendan, and the modern Irish form, Breandán, are based upon the mediaeval Latin form Brendanus. According to one old Irish text there are 17 saints with the name. When used in an Irish sentence it can take the form Bhreandán e.g. A Bhreandán or ..do Bhreandán. Variation of the Irish Breandán are Breanndán, Bhreandán and Bhreandáin.
