Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: GUEST,Guest Date: 09 Apr 12 - 06:28 AM In touch. Thanks to all. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Surreysinger Date: 08 Apr 12 - 10:00 PM Louisa's fairly active on Facebook these days (compared to some others). I'll echo Dick's suggestion that you join up and message her on there :-) |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: The Sandman Date: 08 Apr 12 - 05:38 AM I saw Louisa at Ruyton folk club when i was guesting there, she was in good form. join facebook and send her a message. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Dave Sutherland Date: 08 Apr 12 - 05:26 AM Saw Louisa a month ago at Birtley Folk Club's 50th Birthday - she sang magnificently. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: GUEST Date: 08 Apr 12 - 05:08 AM Louisa led the final song ("Five Foot Flirt") at Rosemary Tawney's funeral last Tuesday. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: stallion Date: 08 Apr 12 - 04:18 AM ooo Deb and Jeri is that meow or a miss Piggy Moi! Seriously it is a long time since I have seen you Guys and Lou, miss you all |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Jeri Date: 07 Apr 12 - 08:17 PM Work? Moi? |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: DebC Date: 07 Apr 12 - 08:12 PM Okay, Jeri. I'll make sure I don't give you any more "work" to do :-) Deb |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: GUEST,Guest Date: 07 Apr 12 - 07:03 PM Thanks to all for the help. I'll contact Deb. It would be really great if I could see Lou again. There have also been many changes -- though of different sorts -- in my life since we last met. Lots of catching up to do, if she's up for it, but even a quick "hi" would be nice. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Elmore Date: 07 Apr 12 - 06:16 PM Glad to hear she's doing well. Iremember reading something about cancer. All the best to her. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Jeri Date: 07 Apr 12 - 05:53 PM Deb would be MY best bet. Yours is whatever/whomever works best. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Bat Goddess Date: 07 Apr 12 - 05:53 PM She also lists two email addresses for contact at FB, the one just, I think, the addition of an initial to her (his) former email address. Guest, Lou is still Lou, despite the name (etc.) change. Details change, be flexible...life is an adventure. Linn |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Jeri Date: 07 Apr 12 - 05:40 PM Louisa Jo and Louis are the same person. Simple as that. Deb seems the best bet for contacting her. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: DebC Date: 07 Apr 12 - 05:34 PM You can get in touch with me and I'll put you in touch with Louisa. John Roberts and I spent a few days with Louisa in Gateshead last year. Even with the health problems, she's doing quite well and we had a lovely visit. She joined us for "Seamen's Hymn" when we were the guests at South Shields. You can contact me through my website at www.DebraCowan.com. Too lazy to do a blue clicky. Debra Cowan OK, but my whole existence revolves around fixing HTML oopsies and making links. JC (Who hopes LJK sings in the US again soon.) |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: GUEST,Ebor_Fiddler Date: 07 Apr 12 - 05:27 PM Yes, give Johnny a ring - he's in the book. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 07 Apr 12 - 05:17 PM Sorry to screw up the html in my previous post - maybe a Joe Clone could tidy it up? And thanks Steve for explaining the (very direct) connection between the two names. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Steve Gardham Date: 07 Apr 12 - 05:14 PM Last I heard Louisa was not very good healthwise. A few years ago (he) was singing with Mike Waterson at selected concerts, but by Mike's funeral Louis was Louisa. Doc Rowe has his contact details and you can get a message to him on the Tradsong List. Last time I saw Louis as a fella about 3 years ago he was living in a tower block in Gateshead as someone has said. Whilst Louis was never a member of the Ranters Johnny would have his contact details. If you still want this if you PM me I can ask Pete Woods who would also know. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 07 Apr 12 - 05:11 PM He must be approaching 80. and to judge from his website, which is seriously out of date, he seems to have been inactive for several years. I share our guest's bewilderment at why he is being referred to Louisa Jo. I'm not aware of any connection between them, and if I was the guest I would find Jeri's explanation totally unhelpful. The High Level Ranters website is also likely to be unhelpful - last updated 2004. But it might be worth trying to track down Johnny Handle who has certainly been performing fairly recently. If the details at that link are obsolete, try emailing Mike Kelly at the Sunday Sun who interviewed Johnny for the Newcastle Journal group a few months ago: mike[dot]kelly[at]ncjmedia.co.uk Good luck. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: GUEST,Guest Date: 07 Apr 12 - 04:45 PM "To send her a message on FB you don't need to be a member." Not being logged in, I see no means of sending a message. Am I overlooking something? |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: The Borchester Echo Date: 07 Apr 12 - 03:24 PM Last I heard, she lived in a central Gateshead tower block. To send her a message on FB you don't need to be a member. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: GUEST,Derek Schofield Date: 07 Apr 12 - 03:17 PM Louisa was never a member of the High Level Ranters. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Jeri Date: 07 Apr 12 - 03:04 PM That's Louisa Jo Killen. She had pronoun reassignment, amongst other changes. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: GUEST,Guest Date: 07 Apr 12 - 03:01 PM "Louisa Jo Killen" on FaceBook? That shows a picture of a woman (which is what I would have expected from the name). I'm looking for a man, traditional singer and concertina player. If there's a relationship, I'm missing it. (If I have to join FaceBook to find out, I'm done. I'm not yet willing to do that.) |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: Mark Ross Date: 07 Apr 12 - 02:40 PM He's on Facebook, look for Louisa Jo Killen; https://www.facebook.com/movingalong Mark Ross |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: The Borchester Echo Date: 07 Apr 12 - 02:34 PM Facebook (under Louisa Jo Killen). |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: maeve Date: 07 Apr 12 - 02:25 PM Sorry, a correction: I see he is not listed as a current member, but I'd still think that link would be useful. |
Subject: RE: Louis Killen - contact? From: maeve Date: 07 Apr 12 - 02:22 PM Perhaps through the High Level Ranters' official website, since he's a member of that very fine group? http://highlevelranters.co.uk/hlr03.htm |
Subject: Louis Killen - contact? From: GUEST,Guest - crossing the water Date: 07 Apr 12 - 01:39 PM I've heard that Louis is now living Tyneside, and I'll be visiting there for a few days in less than a week's time. I don't want to impose on him, but it would be nice to be able to just stop by and say hello, something I haven't managed since he was living near Seattle. Anybody know how to contact him? I don't find any contact info on his web site, and the performance listing there doesn't seem to have been updated for more than a year. I hope he's OK. |
