Arrows


Arrows released the original version of I Love Rock & Roll in 1975 on RAK. The song was written by band members Alan Merrill and Jake Hooker and later covered successfully by Joan Jett (and others).

By 1976 the band had their own TV show on ITV. Terry Taylor joined the band on guitar and they performed for a while as a four-piece. Jake Hooker departed after the TV series ended.
