The class of 2018 was announced at a gathering Friday at the John Kinder Labatt Lounge in the city.

Earlier named the London Music Awards, the name was changed to honour producer Jack Richardson who was the first Hall of Fame inductee under the new banner in 2004, recognizing the long-time Londoner’s role in encouraging excellence in the local music scene and advocating for education in the field as a Fanshawe College professor. One of his last major public appearances before his death was at the 2011 Jacks gala at the London Music Hall when Richardson was saluted with a standing ovation and fans and friends lined up to chat with him at the gala’s finale.
