Hayden Wood

aka Tony Summers


Anthony Paul Jones was born in Lower Hutt in 1944 and as a teenager he started singing and playing guitar in school bands, purely for fun. Jones left school with little thought of pursuing a career in music and decided to travel the world, but he only got as far as Bondi in Sydney.

At the weekly Surf Club dance, Jones was coerced on to the stage to sing with resident band The Echoes. Their front man, Norm Miller, was about to leave the band and they were impressed enough to offer him a job as the lead singer.
