Icarus Peel's Acid Reign - JAY ROBERTSON

Having taken over from Brian Rushbrooke Jay has seamlessly fitted in with the band and his presence has given the power trio's live shows that ‘extra edge’ Jay is an experienced working actor who has appeared in films, music videos and has worked on the stage. He met Icarus many years ago whilst playing in the Devon band ‘Stemroach’ and they have kept in contact ever since.
