Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers
Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers were a British instrumental beat group in the early 1960s. Their biggest hit, "Can Can 62", was produced by Joe Meek and reached the British singles chart in 1962. The group toured with both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones before disbanding in 1966.
==Origins and career==
The group was formed around 1960 by Peter Jay (b. 29 January 1944, Southgate, North London, England), the son of Jack Jay who owned and managed the Windmill Theatre together with several cinemas and nightclubs in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. Peter Jay formed the group while studying at Norwich College.〔( Yarmouth Hippodrome: The Jays )〕 He played drums; other band members were Pete "Buzz" Miller (lead guitar - previously a member of rival local group the Offbeats), Tony Webster (rhythm guitar), Mac McIntyre (tenor sax and flute), Lloyd Baker (piano and baritone sax), Geoff Moss (bass guitar) and Johnny Larke (bass guitar).〔( The British Beat Boom: Peter Jay & The Jaywalkers ) Internet Archive page from defunct site, retrieved 18 September 2015 〕 Contrary to belief the band never contained the unusual set-up of an acoustic and electric bass, just two electric basses. It is also noted in some articles that Geoff Moss played double bass; this also is not true. From about 1962, the group were also noted for their use of coordinated Vox Phantom guitars on stage.
Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers signed a recording deal with Decca Records in 1962. Their first record, a rocked-up version of the can-can music from Offenbach's ''Orpheus in the Underworld'', produced by Joe Meek at Decca's studios in Hampstead and entitled "Can Can 62", rose to # 31 after entering the UK chart in November 1962. The group released several further singles on Decca in 1963 and 1964, but none became hits.〔( Peter Jay & The Jaywalkers at 45cat )〕〔( Joe Meek discography )〕 Nevertheless, the group were a popular live act and were chosen as a support act to the Beatles on their UK tour in November and December 1963. They also appeared on national TV shows including ''Ready Steady Go!'' and ''Thank Your Lucky Stars''.〔( "Big Boy Pete" Miller biography )〕
The group moved to Piccadilly Records in 1964 and released several further singles, with little commercial success.〔 Miller left in 1965, and was replaced by guitarist Terry Reid. After further personnel changes, and billed as "Peter Jay and the New Jaywalkers",〔(Cover of ''New Musical Express'', August 1966 )〕 the group continued to appear on bills with leading bands of the time, and were included on a package tour with the Rolling Stones, Ike and Tina Turner and the Yardbirds starting at the Royal Albert Hall in September 1966.〔(The Led Zeppelin Home Page: Jimmy Page )〕 Following the tour, the group split up.〔
