Foreward by Billie Davis
In 2005 Jet asked me to join him at Bob Potters Lakeside Country Club in Surrey for "Shadowmania" the event run annually by Bruce Welch, we performed "No other baby"
Myself and Jet were talking about working together again, and shortly after we put together Jets 50th anniversary tour. This was to coincide with The Shadows reunion on their 50th anniversary.
Jet was dissapointed he did not get to play on The Shadows tour but despite health problems was out enjoying shows and sharing his experiences with the fans. He talked openly about his battles with booze and added his dry humour which had the fans rolling in the isles. Id always called Jet "The black sheep Shadow".
Jet and I recorded "No other baby" and "Back in our rock n roll days", the lyrics said it all. During this period Jet was also recording what was to be his last album "The Journey" with producer Nigel Hopkins.
I had discussed making a documentary about Jet with Mark Windows who also performed at some of the shows. We all agreed to make the documentary and captured some fine moments with Jet.
Away from the limelight Jet was also a keen and accomplished photographer which showed another side of him, this was also captured in the documentary.When Jet was awarded the MBE in 2010 this added another chapter to Jets life and of course the film. Although Jets health was not good he carried on to finish the film for his fans.
