Down by the Jetty is an energetic 4-man band that loves pub rock. Influenced by the British pub rock scene Down by the Jetty turns covers into an energetic repertoire.

Unleash the Pub Rock Revival with Down by the Jetty.

Down by the Jetty brings a sincere and energetic rhythm & blues repertoire with a tribute to the legendary Dr. Feelgood.

In March 2024, Down by the Jetty left for Wales to record for the album "The Kingsley Tales" at the legendary Rockfield Studios. Also where the likes of Dave Edmunds, Dr. Feelgood, Wilko Johnson and Bintangs left their footprints.

Thus 4 pub rock songs of their own and 6 covers were recorded. They also performed Down by the Jetty at the popular venue The Barrels in Hereford UK and played at the rock temple Savoy Club in Gijon, northwest Spain in early September. While big bands were spending tons of money on expensively produced recordings, pub rock was a music movement that stood for live playing without bells and whistles.

Although the pub rock period was short-lived, 1970 to 1977, it was characteristic of many British bands including; Dr. Feelgood, Rockpile, Mickey Jupp, The Count Bishops, Nine Below Zero, Ducks DeLuxe and others. Later in the 1970s, punk rock emerged from this.
But Down by the Jetty stays close to Rhythm & Blues with a pub rock edge. Down by the Jetty takes you on a journey to the pub rock scene of the seventies. Where it all began, at the Hope and Anchor pub in London.

Curious about and lovers of British Rhythm & Blues can count on an energetic pub rock set of classics such as: She does it right, Milk & Alcohol, Going back home and As long as the price is right.
