Fireside Chat:
Jackie Groundsell & Carrie Eddins with
Motown Icon Gloria Jones

Join us for a powerful and heartwarming Fireside Chat as Jackie Groundsell, the Queen of Connections, and Carrie Eddins, the UK’s Queen of PR with Heart, sit down with none other than Motown legend Gloria Jones.
Celebrating 60 years since her iconic recording of “Tainted Love,” Gloria brings decades of global music experience, humanitarian leadership, and soul-deep wisdom. This intimate conversation will explore how purpose, passion, and legacy shape not just the music world—but also the evolving landscape of women in business and finance.
Expect laughter, insight, and plenty of goosebump moments in this unmissable highlight of the Evolution of Finance for Businesswomen event..
Gloria Jones:
A Legacy of Music, Empowerment & Global Impact
We are honoured to welcome Gloria Jones, internationally renowned singer, songwriter, and humanitarian,today.
With a powerhouse voice and a legacy that spans decades, Gloria Jones has captivated audiences around the world — but her impact reaches far beyond the stage. Known by many as the original voice behind the Northern Soul classic “Tainted Love”, Gloria’s music career has taken her across continents and genres, establishing her as one of the most influential figures in soul and pop history.
A Trailblazer in Music and Culture
Gloria’s musical journey began early, performing in church choirs in Cincinnati and later recording with Motown Records in Los Angeles. As a songwriter and performer, she contributed to some of the biggest sounds of the 60s and 70s, including collaborations with artists such as Marc Bolan of T. Rex, with whom she shared both a musical and personal partnership.
Her influence on the British glam rock scene is still celebrated today, with her distinctive vocals and songwriting ability helping shape an era. But it’s Gloria’s continued commitment to nurturing talent and creating opportunity that truly sets her apart.
The Marc Bolan School of Music – A Gift to the Future
One of Gloria’s most meaningful contributions is the founding of the Marc Bolan School of Music in Makeni, Sierra Leone. Named in honour of her late partner, this project is close to her heart. The school provides music education, instruments, and a safe creative space for young people in a country where such resources are often scarce.
Her vision is simple but powerful: to use music as a force for healing, empowerment, and transformation. The Marc Bolan School of Music is not only a tribute to a musical icon, but a beacon of hope, nurturing creativity and ambition among the next generation.
Championing Women’s Voices and Financial Empowerment
As a woman who has navigated the music industry and philanthropic spaces for decades, Gloria brings deep insight into what it means to be financially resilient, creatively fulfilled, and globally aware.
Her keynote at Evolution of Finance for Businesswomen will explore the intersections of art, purpose, and empowerment — and how women can find and use their voice not only in business, but in every area of life. She’ll share powerful personal stories, lessons in navigating industries historically dominated by men, and why financial autonomy is central to every woman’s journey.
Whether you’re a creative entrepreneur, business leader, or someone seeking inspiration to make meaningful change, Gloria’s story will remind you what’s possible when passion meets purpose.
Don’t miss this chance to hear from an icon who continues to break boundaries and build bridges.
Join us on 12 June for Evolution of Finance for Businesswomen and experience the wisdom and warmth of Gloria Jones.
