We are deeply sorry to share the very sad news that Mr Tony Jo, a dear and long time close friend of Joe and Jamie’s , passed away last night, following a long fight against cancer.

Tony was a huge giant in the Blackpool Entertainment Industry for so many years and , at the head of his HRH Entertainments , promoted and produced countless ‘sell out’ Blackpool summer shows, including many starring Joe.

Tony was regarded by Joe and Jamie as amongst their closest friends, giving his unending support and help to Joe and Jamie in times of trouble and Joe’s lengthy battles with cancer.

The very deepest of condolences and sympathies are expressed to Helen and Tony’s family at this sad time.
