Well there you go! I'd have sworn it was a Jackson Browne song! Must be losing them grey cells faster than I realised! :-)

I'd like to come to Loughborough but it's just too far for a weekday night with work the next day. I shall content myself with Jack, aided and abetted by Al and Burntstump, at Gainsborough in a coupla weeks. Bring 'em on!

Jack's new CD is coming together great, all of the songs are self penned, some have never been performed on stage.
Should be released sometime in May.

Come on who recorded Geronimos Cadillac?

Not heard Geronimo's Cadillac for years, what was the name of the female singer who had some success with it?

Some of us know already, fella! :-)
Working hard on whipping up a good crowd, can't wait to hear The Master again.
BTW, heard Dick Gaughan's version of 'Geronimo's Cadillac' on steam radio the other night - they should have played Jack's vastly superior recording. Still a great song though, no matter who's doing it. IMHO.

I doubt it, taking longer than expected, you know what these super stars are like, always seeking perfection.I keep telling Jack, does it matter that your guitar is out of tune.
Seriously, we hope to have it in the bag and on release by May.

I believe I met Jack some 30 years ago when he was playing in Fort William, Scotland. My sister and I were holidaying from Australia and were in Fort William for the two weeks he played there. We got to know him pretty well but have not stayed in touch. I recently came across a photo of us together. I'd love to contact him. Any suggestions?

I can do tapes too, in fact I cleaned and transferred one recently for katlaughing, it was of her dad, G.L. "Sparky" HUDSON, talk about coincidences.

It would be a very interesting project if it gets off the ground.

You are booked WLD.

It is accoustic. So you will be able to leave them all behind. If people could hear you at Tattershall, they will be able to hear you at MRFC.

The only time amplification is needed is when I book an artist who is singing all the time professionally, and if they say they want amplification, then I allow it. e.g. Bob Fox & Vin Garbutt.

why thank you whb.
i will let Jack know very soon. perhaps he has got all his recordings.

I believe I have one of his albums in my loft.( The arm fell off my dansette several months ago!)

Thanks for the offer of the floor spot villan - March 11th goes in my diary!

I know you said it's a very small room. i have a couple of baby p.a's- Fender Passport jobs the 150 watt and the 250 watt jobbos.

Would you like that, or my weapon of choice is a 500 watt Peavey thing - which isn't large. However if you fee they are superfluous I will understand.

Don't ask how I got submerged in all this electronica. Its like pornography (they tell me) buy one and you just can't stop yourself......

"It's a shame, too, that his old albums aren't available any longer. Great performances of excellent songs lost for ever"

Why should they be, there must be hundreds of people out there with vinyl albums, why can,t someone get permission off Jack to allow them to be transferred to CDs and then decide what to do.

I would gladly do the transferring at zero cost (see vinyltransfer.me.uk) can't do blue clicky things, and this is not an advert for my services, just letting you know this is a genuine offer.

Just a thought anyway.

Yep, you're right WLD. And, as often happens with great singers, Jack's voice has improved with the years - back in 1970 I'd never have believed it could get any better but it certainly has, and how! Perhaps if he was a 20-year-old, pretty-boy, pale-pink Gareth Gates wannabe he'd have more luck.....................??

It's a shame, too, that his old albums aren't available any longer. Great performances of excellent songs lost for ever.

I've wondered about this.

It seems very strange, doesn't it. After all, you and I John we're not bad guitarists - but guitar playing is something you can put there if you work at it.

A voice like Jack's though - its a once in a generation thing. I really think there are a lot of people who aren't picking up their responsibilities in the media etc. and bringing this fine artist to the forefront. In a few years there will be diminishment of those great powers.

Its like we had a Pavarotti or a Paul Robeson in this country and we thought no sod it, we'll put the best of the Smurfs on tonight AGAIN

I was very proud to sing Jack's song "Driftwood and Nails" on BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Folk Program tonight. Not as good as Jack does it, but it gave me the chance to give him a plug!
