When I found out I had a show on my birthday this year, I immediately began plotting what to do. Came to the conclusion I needed a band who knew how to have a good time – and one band that definitely fall into that category are The Jays! Three years after that tipsy interview at the Fat Surfer, the band remain favourites on the local live scene, and a few festive hats, party poppers and a kinder egg later, they definitely haven’t forgotten how to party the night away. Kudos for the decorations guys!

The band can next be seen at the Bridgehouse 2 in Canning Town on August 31^st – they can be contacted on Facebook and www.myspace.com/thejaysonline.
