London band T-Jays play the Lake Angels Piazza

The T-Jays have played all over England and Ireland - including a famous gig in Cork… in the winter season they hit the slopes for residency at Campbell's Bar in Westendorf, Austria. Singer Joe is an actor whose film credits include Gladiator - due to his mellifluous voice and uncanny Elvis impersonations, he goes by the stage name of Hovis Presley - to be seen to be believed… The babe-magnet of the group, without a doubt. When lead guitarist Ted Rees is saving the financial world from IT disaster, you can find him behind his trademark Taylor acoustic kicking out the calibre of melodic lead work that Dave Gilmour certainly doesn't. 

His ability to improvise is legendary… as is his penchant for brown M&Ms. Solid as a rock, he's the true backbone of the trio. Rhythm guitarist Jeremy White can be found in Barga from time to time, as his old man fronts blues combo Jack's Pack - and Jeremy's been known to step up for some serious backing vocals - just to help babbo out of course. Taught to play guitar by Geoff's brother Trevor - the extraordinary axeman of former Sparks fame (who's also graced the same stage as Jack's Pack) - Jeremy never looked forward and has steadfastly continued to make the same charismatic mistakes that have now become his modus operandi. Harmonies are one of the group's specialties. "When they sing together, I want to cry." - Tony Bennett. They think it was a compliment, but are not sure.
