What can I say that I haven't already said about Jebo in the write ups & reviews that you can read on Bristol Rocks. Jebo are to my ear the best original band in Bristol and maybe the best band in the UK. If given the chance, they will be a world conquering band.

The Horseshoe was packed as well it should be. I will say it again, 'how can a band like Jebo that should be playing stadiums, be playing at the #kin' Horseshoe?' Still, I would rather be there at the front of the Shoe than at the back of a huge auditorium so it suits me just fine!
I told lead guitarist & song writer Rob Allen that the band had better be good because I had told everyone that I know to go along. They did not disappoint, the set consisted of songs from their excellent CD and a few new tunes.

Rob lost it at one point in the evening when some muppet asked the band to play something happy. Much to the amusement of the audience, the muppet was sent away with a flea in her ear. Jebo are about serious top quality music, if you want the birdy song than look elsewhere!

The live sound quality was as good as it gets, loud and perfectly balanced. The band were on top form and James Hollingsworth, singer & front man was brilliant.

Jebo however are not the product of any individual. The musicianship of each band member is flawless. A bass wizard, rhythmic perfection and faultless keyboard playing all add up to rock perfection.

I am not being sycophantic, I really couldn't give a yellow rubbery #uck what the band thinks of Bristol Rocks but believe me Jebo are the business, buy the CD and go watch Bristol's best live. THEN you will see what I mean.
