Strawberry Jam were a British group based in Surrey. The band won the TV talent show Opportunity Knocks in early 1969 and were rewarded with a one-single ('Per-So-Nal-Ly / This Is To A Girl') deal by Pye. They subsequently morphed into the early 70s rock band Natural Gas, who cut an unreleased demo for Ember Records. They also released a one-off single ('Hey Hey Jump Now') in 1972 on CBS as The One Hit Wonders.
Links to Peel[]
The group did a couple of sessions for Peel under the name of Natural Gas, but the sessions didn't seem to attract any record labels who wanted to release their material. When the group became known as the One Hit Wonders, the CBS label released a one off single called 'Hey Hey Jump Now', but according to available tracklistings on this site, it didn't seem to attract Peel's attention and never was played on his shows.
