The finish line is in sight 🏁 Adding backing vocals to the upcoming Jelly cd at Ten21 Recording Studios - we’re excited for you to hear our work! 😁

We almost forgot...on this day 1st August 1981, MTV was launched. Question...which suitably titled track was the first song to be aired? Clue...this is us performing it at 2018’s Iwade Rock Charity Music Festival and filmed by Chris Smith 😁

Marylebone Jelly (Buggles- Video killed the radio star cover) July 21st 2018 Iwade charity rock music festival

In the absence of a livestream, we thought that a Jelly Jam would help provide some entertainment. Given that the summer of 2020 has been such a blowout for live music, a song about awesome summer days gone by seemed kinda appropriate!

This one is dedicated to the currently absent Dave - get well soon mate!

Please give us a LIKE and a COMMENT if this one floats your boat...we miss you and love to hear from you! Fingers crossed we'll be back with a real live gig soon!

Stay safe and look after your loved ones x

Our happy place...on stage in the sun at Iwade Rock Charity Music Festival 2016☀️

Unfortunately, Marylebone Jelly Facebook Live will now not take place on Saturday as planned. Jelly Keyboard man Dave has had a recent spell in hospital (not Covid related you'll be relieved to know) and is currently recuperating at home making sure he's ready to join us in entertaining you again as soon as possible.

Please join us in wishing Dave a speedy recovery!

We'll be bringing the party to YOUR HOUSE on Saturday 1st August at 9.30pm Marylebone Jelly Facebook Live. Tune in our Facebook page for a whole bunch of party bangers AND an announcement about our first post-lockdown gig😁

Can we ask a favour? If you haven't already, can you spread the word about MBJ for us? All you have to do is...

😎 Go to ‘COMMUNITY’ on our page
😎 Click 'INVITE FRIENDS'
😎 Click ‘ALL'
😎 Wait a few seconds for the invitations to send, if you're super popular with lots of friends, you may have to do it a few times.

Thanks gang! See you Saturday🥳

Today should have been our headline slot at Iwade Rock Charity Music Festival but rather than dwell on the sad fact it's not happening, we want to CELEBRATE this awesome live music event by posting this previously unseen video from our performance in 2018.

Our versions of 'Shut Up And Dance' and 'Parklife' were expertly captured and edited by the frightfully talented guys and girls at OYFE Productions (go and give their page a 'like') who made us look and sound great despite it being the hottest day of the year and Ed taking an unscheduled wander 😂

This video made us excited for Iwade Rock 2021 on Saturday 24th July 2021 - hope to see you there!

When you realise the weekend is in touching distance...😂

Coming Soon...💿😎

While we're still waiting for the green light to resume live shows, we've made use of the time with some socially distanced recording at Ten21 Recording Studios with the powerful and attractive Sean Kenny. In recent weeks, lead vocals and final guitars have been recorded...just backing vocals to go before we can let you hear it! 🎧💿😁😎

Staying in is the new going out (for the moment...) so we'd like to cordially invite you to Marylebone Jelly Facebook Live on Saturday 1st August at 9.30pm. A virtual audience is all we need 😁

LIKE and COMMENT if you're joining us - it wouldn't be the same without you!

Anyone got festival withdrawal symptoms? Asking for a friend...😩😉😂

Seems like a lifetime ago...😲😂

See you on Saturday 1st August for Marylebone Jelly Facebook Live 😁

#jellyjams

Friends...we will not abandon you in this time of need. While others around us plunder loo rolls. While we all wonder what day it is. While you're isolated in your homes watching repeats of Murder She Wrote...we'd like to provide some entertainment in the absence of Jelly gigs.

Here's our first instalment of 'Jelly Jam - The Isolation Sessions' brought to you via the magic of Louis' loop pedal and the internet.

We'd love to do more - so if you like it, tell us by clicking LIKE and COMMENTING below.

Please note, no social distancing protocols were breached in the recording of this song 😉😁

Two years ago today we were performing an all 80s set as part of Summer 2018's Live At The Leas events. Big stage, incredible sound and lights and an amazing venue where we'd seen some of our heroes perform 😁

What a privilege to close the show at The Appleyard's Party In The Park 2019 ! The sun shone, the audience danced and sung and everybody had a BIG smile on their face. It's what summers are made for !

Thanks to Sarah and Mike for lettings us be part of the fun. Big love to Colin and his trusty crew from Triple A Events who provided sound, lights and special effects !

It was awesome to share the stage with Heroes, Taking Care Of Vegas, Skadekat, The Chaucers and East 17 - what a line up !

...and in sweltering heat, you guys STILL brought the noise...THANK YOU !!!
