_________________________ GALLERY Click On An Image To Enlarge __________________________________________________ Formedbackin the early nineties the band came together as a result of Kev and Paul meeting up after Kev had placed an ad that basically read, “guitarist looking for musicians into Crazy Cavan, Matchbox, Flying Saucers, Jets etc“ Afteri nitially meeting, Kev and Paul got together on a regular basis to listen to and jam to the sounds of these bands, eventually they decided to invite Kev’s mate along Big Wig to jam with them, at this point there was no intention of ever forming a band as such, the jam sessions were purely for fun. “Little did we realise that we were starting out on the long journey of being in a rock n roll band“. After weeks of getting together we decided that there was more to this music game than just meeting up for jam sessions, so it was decided that we needed a singer and a drummer and more importantly a name for the band,eventually we came across Mark (singer) and Dave (drummer), This was probably the first ever line up of Jump & Jive. We all came up with different ideas for a name for the band, and as we still do today with any decision, we went on a majority vote, Big Wig got the vote and the name Jump & Jive became our tag (the name is taken from a Crazy Cavan song). The bands influences were drawn mainly from the Teddyboy/Rockabilly bands that were on the scene at that time, namely, Crazy Cavan, The Riot Rockers,Flying Saucers, Matchbox, The Jets, and the Stray Cats. The band worked hard over the following months and eventually put a full set together so that they could go out and play live, the set consisted mainly of Rockabilly and Teddyboy style rock n roll songs such as Cavan’s, She’s The One To Blame, and Matchbox’s Rockabilly Rebel, Over the following years the band played numerous live gigs, and like most bands have had various line up changes throughout this time, the most noticeable being that Kev & Paul have had to take on the singing duties. The present line up is, Paul (bass/vocals) Kev (guitar/vocals) Big Wig (guitar) Ian (Drums) Our influences are still the same today but the rock n roll scene is changing and a growing number of today’s rock n roll club attendees prefer to listen to standard, mainstream, or traditional rock n roll songs, mention the word Rockabilly at some venues and it will send shudders down the spine. Jump & Jive are rolling with the changes and now include quite a few standards in their set without straying too far away from their roots, its good to breath life into some of the standard songs by adding a little bit of pace to the tempo. We even put our stamp on songs that would not normally be associated with the rock n roll scene, as long as it feels right… sounds good and has a rockin beat that people can dance to, that’s fine by us and we'll keep on rockin for years to come _______________________________________________________ 2009 GIG GUIDE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JUNE 5....Rayners RnR Club, Riley Smith Hall, Tadcaster + DJ 12..Milburn Leisure Centre Hull + DJ 13..Yardley Social Club, Birmingham + DJ 19..Queens Hotel Blackpool + DJ 26..Private Party Kirk Hallam Nottingham JULY 4....Halifax Rock n Roll Club + DJ 18..Royal British Legion, Chellaston, Derby 25..Carter Lane WMC, Shirebrook, Nottinghamshire AUGUST 12..North Wingfield WMC Chesterfield 21..The Croft Rock n Roll Club, Darlington + DJ 28..Dale Tavern, Worsborough Dale Barnsley + DJ 29..The Green Bowling Club, Ferry Fryston, Castleford 31..Eckington Miners Welfare 4.00pm SEPTEMBER 1....Parklands Ballroom, Wheatley Hall Road, Doncaster, S.Yorks 4....Dunscroft Social Club, Dunscroft, Doncaster DN7 4JR 25..Jive & Stroll Weekender Richmond Holiday Park Skegness OCTOBER 2....Queens Hotel Blackpool 3....Flipside Rock n Roll Club, Grand Hotel, Scarborough 10..Bentley WMC Doncaster 16..Charity Event, Crooks, Sheffield 24..Private Party Doncaster NOVEMBER 20..Birdwell Rock n Roll Club, Barnsley + DJ DECEMBER 1....Parklands Ballroom, Wheatley Hall Road, Doncaster, S.Yorks 4....Queens Hotel Blackpool 19..Houghton Sports Complex, County Durham +DJ 26..Eckington Miners Welfare 31..Rayners RnR Club, Stockton On The Forest, York + DJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2010 GIG GUIDE ______________________________________________________________________________ MARCH 12..Birdwell RnR Club, Barnsley + DJ APRIL 16..Jive & Stroll Weekender, Richmond Holiday Park, Skegness MAY 1....Halifax RnR Club, Halifax + DJ SEPTEMBER 3....Birdwell RnR Club Barnsley + DJ CD AVAILABLE TRACK LISTING Jump & Jive listen to this track Washmachine Boogie.. listen to this track Rockaround The Clock Teenage Heaven..
