where do we start?

it would be appropriate to begin our story in edinburgh, late 1996. jonny funpicked up his geetar and began to play. akin to bryan adams, he got his first real six string and played until his fingers bled. well, they were sore but spilling blood seemed foolish, not to mention messy. he had a keyboard, but now he meant business. the labour had begun, jonny fun and the... hesitations were about to be born.

that winter passed quickly, and spring was springing all around... two of the founder... hesitations were about to meet. alan 'mambo' albo and jonny met while exploring the wacky world of speech therapy - it doesn't get much more rock'n'roll than that. a couple of one off gigs in edinburgh, followed by a wee bit of recording in glasgae cemented the musical pairing.

soon jonny fled edinburgh for warmer climbs. he ended up working for a lesser known electricty company during the now famous second winter of discontent. a musical threesome soon reared its ugly head and john joined jf&th. as a fine marksman, chef and guitarist he easily filled the missing piece in the jigsaw.

work began on putting the lovely jf&th tunes down onto plastic for all good music tolerating people to hear and think, 'hmmm, that's reasonable'. although having given away at least 273 CDs in their short career, the band are due to release their hotly anticipated début album carpe p.m. in 2006. the fan is clamouring for the album and will probably not be disappointed. hopefully.

the west yorkshire review and arts magazine describes jf&th's musical outpouring as "not altogether a bad thing". the drogheeeda independent goes so far a to describe the band as "great". gushing praise, you'll no doubt agree.

altho' the three are victims of geography, ongoing musical recordings and impromptu gigs are still more regular than trips to the doctor. always a good sign...
