About us


'The Best Yound Band in Scotland' - The Scotsman

'This band will sell 5,000,000 records' - Vic Galloway (Radio 1)

'They blew me away, an epic performance' - Jim Gellatly (BBC Radio Scotland)


BBC Radio One selected Jakil as Annie Mac’s House Band during Christmas week 2007. Jakil were asked to write and perform a jingle for Annie, and were interviewed live on Radio One just minutes after the 2007 Christmas number one was announced. Their single “Who Are Ya?” also received its first national radio play.


Jakil - winners of Radio Forth’s ‘One To Watch’ Award 2007... A competition that ran throughout 2007 in East Central Scotland. Jakil picked up their gong at the prestigious Radio Forth Awards in Edinburgh’s Assembly Rooms alongside the likes of Gabrielle, David Gray, Shayne Ward, and many others. The prize included a support slot with a major touring band at the Liquid Room in Edinburgh (to be announced) and a live interview on Forth One Radio, as well as radio airplay for their track “Who Are Ya?”. The station liked the track so much that they played it extensively; far beyond that which was due as part of the award.

The track received airplay on radio stations throughout the UK, outselling bands such as Glasvegas.

Jakil's new EP 'Plan B' was released on the 01/12/08 and is available on iTunes and other digital download sites.

In August, Jakil released their debut EP, also available to download.
