Album Notes

Jetfly are a beat mix of leftfield folk, Violent Femmes and the Velvets.

In October 2009 the band toured the UK with "Punk Folk Disco" and won radio airplay including BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson "Introducing" show.

Emerging from the UK's Bristol folk scene in 2006 they embraced not only the cities folk influences but its punk and diy scene. Based on the lateral songs of front man Jet McDonald “Punk Folk Disco” is an invitation to dance to a junior acoustic guitar being hit by someone who should have learnt how to use a bigger fretboard.

The sound is driven by Simon Van der Linde on bass and Joe Medler on drums with Hannah Porter on Melodica, Piano, Flute, Violin and Glockenspiel.

Jet McDonald and Jetfly have played at festivals all over the UK including Glastonbury, Home Game (Fence), Secret Garden Party, Shambala, Croissant Neuf and Wychwood Festivals.

2007saw the release of the debut Album “Flockabilly” (Cleaner Records).

Jet was born and raised in the New Forest before moving to Bristol. He writes songs for breakfast, lunch and supper. In between he writes modern folk tales and runs “Folk Tales” a monthly event bringing old and new folk traditions together for a bit of a bop. “A modern day troubadour”: Tom Hodgkinson author “How to Be Free”
