    The band first formed in 1974 under the name "BRAD", a four piece Rock'n'Roll band with big ambitions. In 1978 they became The Jets, now a three piece with Bob on Double bass, Ray on lead guitar and "little" Tony on drums. Keeping it in the family, the three Cotton brothers play with as much energy and power as a six piece band. The Jets were soon snapped up by top record label EMI with a string of hits to follow including "Love Makes The World Go Round", "Yes Tonight Josephine" and "Party Doll". Along with the hits came several TV appearances and world wide tours performing with big named acts suc as Robert Plant, Cliff Richard, Shakin' Stevens, Carl Perkins and The Crickets. With over 30 years experience behind them, The Jets remain one of the top rockin' bands not only in the UK but around the world. The Revolutionaires are a Rock'n'Roll four piece band based in Durham. Formed by Ed Stevens on guitar and his brother Rich on bass, accompanied by Dave Anderson on piano and John Lambert on drums. The Revolutionaires have a wide influence of styles, reaching from early R'n'B with the likes of Louis Jordan and Smiley Lewis, to classic Rock'n'Roll from artists such as Little Richard, Elvis and Bill Haley. Whatever your choice, The Revolutionaires will be happy to oblige, as long as they can keep on Rockin'.
    Johnny Earl is no Elvis impersonator, there's no shakin' hips, no quivering lip and no vegas jumpsuit. So what do you get? You get the man who recorded four albums and toured with Elvis' original band, The Jordanaires, Scotty Moore and Dj Fontana, also appearing along side the late Carl Perkins. Now becoming a popular performer on the UK and European Jive scene, Johnny's hit "Swing Me Baby" has grown to be one of the most requested songs for Jivers young and old. With his remarkable voice and charismatic stage presence, Johnny Earl's jive time show goes from strength to strength. When Johnny hits the stage, it really is Jive Time! The Jive Remeros are one of the top Rock'n'Roll showbands in the country. This Midlands based outfit, fully equipped with saxophone, piano, guitar, double bass and drums, always give a knockout performance with every show. Playing classics from the likes of Bill Haley, Louis Prima, Tony Crombie and Art Baxter along with many self-penned Jivers. These guys look slick and sound slick, they're just six cats who are gonna make you want to jive !!
