About The Jets

The Jets are a British rockabilly and doo-wop band from Northampton, best known for their UK chart hits "Yes Tonight Josephine" and "Love Makes the World Go Round", which reached numbers 25 and 21 respectively on the UK Singles Chart in 1981 and 1982. Nine of their tracks in total featured in the Guinness Book of Hit British Singles, cementing their place in British pop history.

Formed in 1978 by brothers Bob Cotton (lead vocals and double bass), Ray Cotton (lead guitar and vocals), and Tony Cotton (drums and vocals), the band draws on the 1950s rock and roll tradition, blending a driving rockabilly beat with rich vocal harmonies, slap bass, and twangy guitar. Their musical inspirations include Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Eddie Cochran, and they emerged alongside acts like Showaddywaddy and Shakin' Stevens during the 1970s UK rockabilly revival.

The three Cotton brothers remain the sole members of the band to this day. Their debut single, "Rockabilly Baby," was released in 1978, before they signed with major label EMI in 1981. Having continued recording and touring well into the 21st century, they released the compilation 50 Years of Rockin' in 2024 to honour nearly five decades of performing.
