About Me
!-Remove Maroon Menu Bar Band Page !- Author: Eileen "This band will sell five million records" - Vic Galloway, BBC Radio One/BBC Radio Scotland "The day of Jakil is coming" - The Sun "Scotland's Best Young Band" - The Scotsman Winners of Radio Forth's 'One To Watch Award '07 "Edinburgh Band Wins Industry Gong" - BBC News "Like U2 and The Killers" – BBC Radio One "Best Young Band in Scotland" The Scotsman 19/04/07 "Go and see Jakil now, and when they get stadium-gig big say you saw them first. I first saw them at the Queens Hall in Edinburgh and was blown away. They have great original material, but the amazing thing was the audience joining in with their favourite numbers. They are influenced by a vast array of artists and music genres. Over the last four years they have progressed from gigs in the Bongo Club to Liquid Rooms. Last year they triumphed in the Edinburgh Battle of the Bands.' David Lee - The Scotsman "Edinburgh band bags industry gong" BBC News 07/12/07 "Jakil, a group of former Balerno High School pupils, has been awarded the "One To Watch" trophy at the Radio Forth Awards. They beat off more than 100 bands to reach the final where they had a play-off to win a place supporting a headline act at the Liquid Rooms. Singers David Gray, Gabrielle and Shayne Ward attended the awards. Liam Narrie, 18, of Colinton - a music student at Napier University and guitarist in the band - said they were thrilled to have won the prestigious award. Speaking to the BBC Scotland news website, he said: "We were so excited that it was all a blur on stage when we won. "We were presented the award by the X Factor's MacDonald Brothers who later went out with us. They were so nice and told us to take one step at a time and keep going. "On the stage the presenter jumped on us and I ended up having my jaw put out of place, but I suppose that is rock and roll for you." The band, which is made up of singer Kieran O'Brien, 18, bass guitarist Iain Downie, 18, drummer Mike McTernan, 18, electric guitarist Jamie Robertson, 18, and electric guitarist Liam Narrie, play rock pop with a funky edge..." Angie Brown - BBC News "Who to Listen Out for in 2008" The Evening News 03/01/08 "Edinburgh-based band Jakil won Forth One's recent "One to Watch" competition – and it's easy to see what all the fuss is about.They have great original material, a live show to be reckoned with, and in Kieran O'Brien, one of the best singers on the local circuit.Big things are expected of them this year" Gary Flockhart - The Evening News www.jakil.co.uk
