The Jays has been played on NTS shows including The Gaza Strip, with Give Me The Right first played on 14 April 2017.

The Jays (Jayes) were a Jamaican reggae band with Errol Wilson. Errol Wilson left Black Uhuru to concentrate on his own group called The Jayes (The Jays), which he had started with Lloyd Ruddock and Rudolph Reid. The harmony group started out at Channel One studio, located at Maxfield Avenue in Kingston, where they recorded their first songs “Never Get Away” and “Mr Wicked Man”.

The Jayes had a successful run during the 1970s with songs such as “Righteous Man Satta”, “Queen Majesty”, “Melody Life”, “Yaho” and “I’m The One Who Loves You”. Lloyd Ruddock aka Scooner (King Tubby’s brother) left the group in 1979 and was replaced by Vincent Bryan, who did one year with the group before migrating to the US. Then Unes ‘Sharlo’ Mclean joined the group, but just before The Jays released their debut album, “The Jays Volume One”, he too moved on. New member Derrick Coke died in 1981 and was replaced by Lloyd Forest (a former member of The Royals and The Chantells) in 1982. After a long absence from the local entertainment scene during the 1990s and early 2000s, but with Errol Wilson and Lloyd Forrest still doing recordings as a duo, The Jays again became a trio when Leo Hall joined them in 2003. In that same year they went to Studio One and recorded an album called “The Right Solution”. Errol Wilson died in 2018.

The Band --> A four-piece rock band from essex - the undeniable chemistry between band members is attributed to friendships dating back as early as playschool. Influences that inspire both the music and rock n roll "f*k you" attitude include the likes of Biffy Clyro and Brand New, Aerosmith and G n R. An energetic stageshow combined with big melodic choruses, screaming 80's guitar solos and an inespcapably infectious party attitude will guarantee everyone in the venue feels like utter sht the next morning. see you at the bar.
