Gavin Paterson 2020 Obit: Julie Felix - March 22, 2020 (22) RE: 2020 Obit: Julie Felix - March 22, 2020 26 Mar 20


I had no idea as to the depth of her work.

On Sunday 29th at 6pm on Celtic Music Radio I'll broadcast my tribute to Julie by playing two hours of her music.

I'm far from an expert. Like many, MANY, of my age, I first head her on Saturday mornings, taking us to the zoo, the zoo, the zoo. I then was aware of her as just another singer with a Saturday tea-time show on BBC. For a long time she meant no more to me than say, Cilla Black. And no harm to Cilla.

It was only when I started doing the Balladeers show and started seriously collecting the old vinyl that I was in any way aware of her contribution.

When she passed a few days ago, I was a little surprised to see all the comments about how she encouraged the emerging Folk "Second Wave" to quote Rab Noakes. And everything that I've read and heard since backs that up. So I'm going to try and dig as deep as I can- given that almost everything apart from three Decca LPs is out of print.

Sunday 29th March, 6pm to 8pm GMT on Celtic Music Radio and 95FM in Greater Glasgow.
