About Me


The 157 are a rock band from the Manchester area. Consists of Jon Pedley, who has played in various other bands including 52 teenagers (he got booted for being a drunkard) and Host before taking up the position of frontman for the 157. Dave McDonagh, who has probably played in other bands but to be honest I couldn't tell you (he's good). Dave Jackson, who played in Lockjaw before finding his place in the 157, and Liam Kingdon, who has played in a variety of bands including Eventhough and Host. The 157 take a creative, uncliched approach to the rock genre, and their diverse and eclectic musical tastes mean that a live performance is exciting and unpredictable from start to finish.
