Jax&Co are a best-loved band in Somersham!! They began their musical adventure back in 2017 as a Johnny Cash Tribute act, with Jax and Mama D leading from the front with high energy performances and fabulous vocals, while Slim, Jim and Nos provide outstanding accompaniment in rhythm and instrumental embellishment. Now known for many great rock and Southern classics from the 60s and 70s, and their own original tunes. Often referred to as Suffolk’s hardest working band, Jax&Co have matured to become an excellent and entertaining professional ensemble - if you haven’t seen them play at Wheelie Fun Day, catch them at The Duke for a best-ever night to remember!!
The legendary Jax&Co will be performing from 8:30pm at The Duke of Marlborough - playing their perfect mix of Southern classics, Johnny Cash and original songs. We look forward to seeing you all there for what is always a great night! :)
