The Jade Assembly

With thanks to @PhotographyGaz ©

Ralph has had his beady eye on immensely popular Bolton band The Jade Assembly for some time now and with the release of their new single One Last Time on May 5th, what better time to look closer.

Keen to stand apart from their contemporaries, The Jade Assembly say - "We're in this for the long haul and for the right reasons." 

No fabricated or posed attitude and an absolute conviction in their music. One Last Time shows just that with it's on-point Indie guitar and honest North West vocals. A certain favourite with The Jade Assembly fans.





Their sound derives from the passion of Watson and Danny's rhythm section and the gritty power of Smed's guitar play juxtaposed with the self belief and commitment of John Forster, a true 'Northern Poet'.

As John puts it - "Every word counts. Some people can't see the wood for the trees, but if you don't see The Jade Assembly you're missing the best of the forest."
