Jetfly is a person and a band. He plays solo as Jet McDonald on guitar, vocal and harmonica and as a band with Jet on Guitar and Vocals, Si on Bass and Vocals and Joe on Drums and Percussion.
The band has evolved into a punkier outfit lying somewhere between Violent Femmes and leftfield folk.
It has benefited at different times from Virpi Kettu virtuoso Finnish violinist (contribrutor to Flockabillly) and Hannah Porter part of the Porter Super Folk family and all round instrumentalist (contribrutor to the album "Punk Folk Disco").
The band have produced two albums "Flockabilly" and the forthcoming "Punk Folk Disco"! due for release in Sept of this year.
In Oct 2009 the band are going on a UK Tour. At the same time Jet is doing a solo tour with fellow songsters Hollowbody and Andy Skellam.

Originally born in the New Forest Jet has written hundreds of songs some of which, for lack of careful attention, have escaped and now live wild in the woods.
Jet is also a storyteller who has told his strange contemporary tales in lightbouses, boats, yurts, tipis, bookshops, crypts, theatres, pubs and powerstation youth clubs. Tom Hodgkinson author of "How to Be Free" and "How to be Idle", has described him as a "modern day minstrel". Jet prefers Revels. The raisin ones.
