Salford Jets

The Salford Jets were formed 1977, original members; Mike Sweeney (lead vocal); Diccon Hubbard (bass/vocal );Dave (Shakey) Morris drums/vocal );Don McKintyre (guitar/vocal ). Don was replaced late 1977 by Rod Gerrard (guitar/vocal), and Geoff (Bubbs) Kerry (keys/guitar/vocal). Geoff Kerry was replaced by Don McKintyre 1982, Johnny (Psycho) Wolfendon (sax), 1982.

The Salford Jets catalogue of songs has its roots in various styles, and influences. Rock ‘n ‘ Roll, Doo-wop, Merseybeat, Rhythm & Blues, Punk ----- which must have been very confusing to many as it followed no set direction! One of the main problems the band had, was recreating the excitement of live performances upon vinyl. Nobody but the Salford Jets would consider following WHO YOU LOOKIN' AT? by a speeded up accapella version of BLUE MOON! ----- or a manic version of Please Please Me! The Salford Jets charted in the UK with WHO YOU LOOKIN'AT? in May 1980. GINA, SHE'S GONNA BREAK YOUR HEART and LOOKIN AT THE SQUARES also made the top UK 100.

The Salford Jets are in the process of finalising an album deal with Sanctuary Records, due out late February 2006.
Current band members: Mike Sweeney; Phil Watts; Nick Marsland; Diccon Hubbard.
