Mr Jeffries
He’s an international man of mystery and one of music’s greatest enigmas, but who IS “Mr Jeffries”?
It depends what you believe…
As just about every Tom, Dick or Harry clamours for 15 minutes of fame, his apparent indifference to the spotlight makes him all the more intriguing. Now you see him, now you don’t… he’s the spirit of rock’n’roll, the ghost of good times past, present and future…but once seen, never forgotten!
Mr Jeffries appearances are the stuff of legend, but those who claim to have seen him all agree that his backing band is pretty special when it comes to giving you a rocking good time. Grant, Paul, Billy, John and Phil lay down the big beat. They’re the backbone for Mr Jeffries shivers!
Your favourite songs never sounded so good, so don’t forget your dancing shoes! They’re so good it’s scary!
