Salford JetsOne of the very best bands at last year’s Rebellion Festival; and we are proud and privileged to be putting them on at Young Loud & Snotty.
Combining punk, rock and roll and rhythm and blues, the Salford Jets, with their energetic performances and upbeat songs flew the music flag for the city.
Forming in 1976 and hitting the charts in 1980 with the gobby “Who You Looking At?”, they also appeared on national tv with other 3- minute pop ditties, including “Gina (I’ve Got A Cortina)” and “She’s Gonna Break Your Heart”.
No mid-Atlantic pretensions here, Mike Sweeney sang in a Salford accent with a huge personality that landed him a presenter DJ job at Piccadilly Radio, becoming the best known voice in Greater Manchester, a mate to everyone.
The Jets folded in the early Eighties, before unfolding in 2002 and releasing a compilation CD, “Manchester Boys” in 2006.
The Salford Jets – fun, fab and totally, totally Salford…
