The Way of The Bluejays

About Me

Chris, Kelvin, Steve (& others - cheers Ro!) found each other drifting aimlessly in musical limbo recently, and decided to drift together. It's good.
* * * * *
All have played in various bands, groups and combo's over the years, (B Team, Okapi Fever, Manray, Cheeky, Ken, Barbi Ferrari, Roundabout Zoo, Bomba Fonda, The Doilies, David Doll etc), have played on the same bill a few times, but only recently exchanged chords and melodies. It's an acoustic thing - but not really!

The above are the first things we recorded to help us write lyrics and work out song structures, arrangements etc. As such, they are the blueprints for the songs you'll hear at gigs, which have changed (in some cases) quite a bit. Just to let you know!
