Salford Jets was a British rock band, who began life in 1976,[1] and operated in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Biography
The band originally included Mike Sweeney, later of Piccadilly 1152 and current breakfast DJ at 106.1 Rock Radio. The other band members were Diccon Hubbard (bassist), Rod Gerrard (guitarist), Dave Morris (drummer) and Geoff Kerry (keyboardist).[2] They had a hit single in 1980 called "Who You Looking At?", released on RCA,[3] which reached number 72 in the UK Singles Chart.[4] Lack of further chart activity leaves them dubbed as one-hit wonders, although there is currently a campaign to get the single "Who You Looking At?" back into the charts, in aid of the Men Matter Appeal for The Christie Hospital.
