There is an article about Jay's father - Luís Saraiva - printed in the Jornal Publico in Portugal. The article says that he is a musician (guitar) who performed in the 1973 Eurovision Music Festival. Jay also said that the band would like to perform in Portugal, possibly at some music festivals - "We wanna go, cause we know, the Spanish fans, and we think they're great. Every country that has got Latin-American fans, are the best. It has got something to do with the weather. The sun, the good food, the good wine, make everybody happy." The original article (in Portuguese) can be found here but can also be translated using Altavista.
