Jon Lilygreen was born on 4 August 1987 in the Welsh city of Newport. He’s well known throughout south Wales, having performed many acoustic sets at pubs and clubs, as well as the prestigious Celtic Manor Country Club.

Throw in performers Charalambos Kallonas (Cyprus), Katherine Squire, Sean Watts (both from England), Jon Gregory (Scotland) and Sylvia Strand (Norway), and you have the Islanders.
