About Salford Jets

Salford Jets were a aBritish (punk) rock band from Manchester, United Kingdom. Formed in 1976, they performed until the early 1980s and re-formed in 2002. The band originally included Mike Sweeney, later of Piccadilly Radio and its later incarnations. The other band members were Diccon Hubbard (bass), Rod Gerrard (guitar), Don Mac (guitar), Dave Morris (drums), Geoff Kerry (keyboards) and Johnny Sax. It was this line-up that would back Wayne Fontana as The Mindbenders for a short period. The band had a Monday night residency on the Top Road in Pendlebury Swinton at The Duke of Wellington in 1979-80.They had a hit single in 1980 called 'Who You Looking At?' on RCA Records, which reached number 72 in the UK Singles Chart. This was their only song to make the Top 75, although 'Gina (I've Got A Cortina)' made number 90 and 'She's Gonna Break Your Heart' number 80. A compilation CD, Manchester Boys, was released on Castle Records in 2006. The band did BBC Radio One sessions for Peter Powell, David Jensen and Mike Read and appeared on the national TV programmes Lift Off, Get It Together and Fun Factory. Since reforming in late 2002, they have gigged intermittently, mostly in the North of England. Current members are Mike Sweeney, Diccon Hubbard, Andy Ashcroft, Carla Lewis and Phill Orme.
