Ignatious Jones - Whispering Your Name

Ignatius Jones (born Jaun Ignacio Trápaga in 1957, Singalong, Manila, Philippines) is an Australian events director, journalist, actor and previously fronted the shock rock band Jimmy and the Boys. From 1976 to 1982 the group pioneered the use of shock theatrics in Australia. By the end of the 1970s they were “one of the most popular live acts on the Australian scene“ with Jones performing as lead vocalist and contortionist alongside Joylene Thornbird Hairmouth (born William O’Riordan) on keyboards and vocals as a kitsch, transvestite. In 1981 they scored their only top 10 single with “They Won’t Let My Girlfriend Talk to Me“, which was written by Split Enz leader, Tim Finn. In 1982 after their disbandment, Jones pursued a solo career and by the mid-1980s was a member of a swing jazz-cabaret band
