IAN KIMMET FROM JOOK

Juke was a hard rock glam rock band active in the early 70s in the UK. Managed by John Hewlett, the band released singles with RCA and later a four-song EP. They tried to fit into the glam scene but were primarily a rock and roll band. After disbanding, the members joined Sparks. Juke had a 40-year reunion and filmed a documentary called 'Jukes on You'. They also recorded unreleased songs like 'Vavoom' and 'Play'. The band's music fell between the cracks of pub rock and glam rock, and they played shows with bands like Peter Gabriel and Genesis.
