Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Surreysinger Date: 29 Jan 11 - 10:43 PM Iain ..I'm assuming that you had checked out the website for Omega 3 which was mentioned above ? You could always try contacting Clive at the email address shown on the site. There is also information about Roaring Jelly available on Clive Harvey's own website , where you can find details of a compilation of Roaring Jelly tracks which he has available for sale. |

From: GUEST,Raring for roaring jelly Date: 29 Jan 11 - 04:20 PM hi, im a 34 year old fan of roaring jelly. my mum and dad used to play their lbum in the roar on every car journey we took. if you have any lyrics or guitar music or any info on how to get it i'd be very happy and you would be making my four year old daughter very happy. She has already had the pleasure of Valerie Wilkins and laughs her little socks off at the chorus. Cheers for taking the time to read this. Iain Matta Ps my folks were part of Wildenrath folk club about 30 years ago. Dont know if you have any other references to it. |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Houston_Diamond Date: 13 Jan 07 - 07:11 AM Thanks Scrump, I think you maybe right, it certainly rings a bell. It'll be nice if the single ever turns up (mind you, I doubt it cos my mum was notorious for throwing things out that annoy her, which isn't hard!!!) Just hoping and waiting to see if their website gets a mp3 download section that sells those kinda tracks (or a CD selling area!) |
|
Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Scrump Date: 10 Jan 07 - 06:12 AM I remember a 7" record of Roaring Jelly that my dad had. I'm not too sure but I think it had a double B side of 'Christmas in Australia' and 'I'm Only A Poor Little Turkey' which me and my sisters kinda sing every Christmas. I think the other side was "Family Christmas" IIRC (?). I can't remember for sure (I think that track might also have been on one of the albums In The Roar or Golden Grates, but again I can't remember for certain). |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Houston_Diamond Date: 09 Jan 07 - 01:41 PM I remember a 7" record of Roaring Jelly that my dad had. I'm not too sure but I think it had a double B side of 'Christmas in Australia' and 'I'm Only A Poor Little Turkey' which me and my sisters kinda sing every Christmas. I was trying to find it a couple of years ago to no-avail. Glad they are coming back on the scene as Omega 3... Will they disappear for another 20 years and come back as Omega 6? Come on lads... get the original recordings of Roaring Jelly put them on digital format so as we can all buy them to reminisce. :-) Houston |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: GUEST,Clive (The Omega 3) Date: 28 Dec 06 - 09:11 AM This is a new experience for me - replying to a thread, instead of hanging by one. Hi to all on this thread. I'm Clive Harvey, ex-Roaring Jelly and now one of The Omega 3. From the ashes of Roaring Jelly, Derek Pearce and I have risen, still wobbling a bit, to re-gel extremely recently as The Omega 3. We have a new bass player, the mysterious Da'aboth. We have new silly songs. We have old silly songs. We have a website: www.theomega3.co.uk. Hope to see you! |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Blowzabella Date: 04 Dec 06 - 03:44 PM I have to say, Roaring jelly were my first introduction to the 'folk club scene' when i was just a gel of very tender years. If i see a snifter of Clive Harvey and Derek Pearce within travelling distance.... Does anybody know, is there any suggestion that they are going to be different but simmilar??? Or is Omega 3 a completely different animal???? And was Mick Hennessey not to be persuaded or is he otherwise engaged??? Those three have got a lot to answer for....(all good) |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: GUEST Date: 04 Dec 06 - 05:50 AM OMG!!! Just spoke to Guildford...no tickets yet... I cant wait...much of my mis-spent teenage years was sspent listening to the Jellies...I was a soldier married to a Nurse, both of us folkies! Valerie Wilkins lives! Simon Loake (Folkie Loakie) had a Radio Northampton sunday show in those days, and he used to play concerts from the locale...RJ was one of them-from the Old Sun Nether Heyford if I remember right-I had the tape until a few years ago...It was in the car when it got nicked!

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Scrump Date: 04 Dec 06 - 04:53 AM Seems daft to me - reforming under a different name, I mean. Why not use the name that made 'em (sort of) famous? What is the new name, anyway? I'll have to look out for them. |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Girl Friday Date: 03 Dec 06 - 07:05 PM Until last Friday I'd never heard of Roaring Jelly, apparently they've reformed under another name. |

As soon as tickets become available, I'll post something here - no point in trying the box office at the moment as there aren't any available yet (or unlikely to be before December)....so watch this space! |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Dartford Warbler Date: 21 Oct 06 - 02:07 PM Fans of Roaring Jelly will be pleased to learn that two of the members (Clive and Derek) have formed a trio with a new bass player. They are called Omega 3 |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: sandyandy Date: 16 Nov 05 - 10:44 AM I saw them at Sidmouth that year.They did a song to the tune of the banana boat song about getting arrested for exposing yer bum to a policeman "I fall on me bum and bruise de bone" Great stuff SA |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Black belt caterpillar wrestler Date: 15 Nov 05 - 05:05 PM I just missed, but was immediately told about their performance on the main stage at Sidmouth one year, where they impersonated an eastern european group and released a "dove of peace" as part of the act. It was, of course, one of Sidmouth's resident pigeons. |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: MC Fat Date: 13 Nov 05 - 06:41 AM Did have a conversation (through a third party) with one of Six Hands as part of an idea to do a reunion at Sheffield Folk Festival. I think one of Six Hands joined R Cajun which is where that mix up came from |
|
Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: The Badger Date: 12 Nov 05 - 06:39 PM Six Hands in Tempo were available all year round. Noteable for tremendous three piece guitar work and harmony they did a lot of songs from the 20's and 30's. They were not involved with Roaring Jelly. Two LPs - well worth a play if you come across them - All in Good Time(Burlington-BURL006 and Desperate Digits (Plant Life - PLR054}. |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Bainbo Date: 12 Nov 05 - 04:19 PM Yeah, I remember Clive playing with R Cajun. He'd been introducing some "faux cajun" into Roaring Jelly anyway - "Donnez-moi le Cajun gumbo, il est froid ce soir, ce soir". My abiding memory of is them at Durham Folk Festival, at a concert in the ancient town hall. Called back for an encore, they dashed off the stage and into the massive old stone fireplace (it was big enough to take all three of them) to harmonise an acapella version of I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire. Treasured memories. Don't remember any of them being with Six Hands In Tempo, though. That was three teachers who only toured during the school holidays, wasn't it? |

Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Blowzabella Date: 12 Nov 05 - 01:58 PM I know that, for a time, Clive was with R Cajun & the Zydeco Brothers - but that was a while ago.... Oh, for a reunion!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Roaring Jelly (not quite BS!) From: Mrs.Duck Date: 12 Nov 05 - 01:26 PM After Roaring Jelly closed, at least one of the members performed with a group named the Beverley Brothers. Don't know what happened to them either... Quack! GtD. |
