The songs & film
From the Word Go began as a collection of demo recordings in 1979, made with energy and passion in a makeshift home studio in London, Ontario.
Fast forward to 2024, when technology allowed for the performances of a gifted, departed friend to be combined with new performances by Go Jetter’s two remaining band members.
The result is… well, you should have a listen.
And if you're curious how it all came back to life, check out the short film below.
