Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: vectis Date: 31 Aug 19 - 09:30 PM I booked her for the Seaford Folk Club about 15 years ago and had to move to a larger venue. She ended up with a bigger wage than she had agreed to and the club still did OK out of the deal. A real professional to her fingertips and she was in fine form that night so all the punters went home happy. |

Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 31 Aug 19 - 10:12 AM Saw a poster for another appearance at Whitby next month, while we were there at the recent Folk Week. Saw her maybe 7-8 years back in Edinburgh: thought her stage presence was great, but the voice had gone (or maybe she just had laryngitis that night?) |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Backwoodsman Date: 31 Aug 19 - 09:12 AM Roger, Julie played one of the Glastonbury stages this year. For the past few years she’s attended a charity day my band always plays at in Buckinghamshire - she’s always very friendly, and does a very nice half-hour-or-so guest-spot - but I guess Glasto took priority this year! |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 31 Aug 19 - 09:05 AM According to Wiki she's now 81 and living in Chorleywood Herts. Guardian article last year:Guardian Interview RtS |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Backwoodsman Date: 12 Oct 16 - 04:50 PM I was talking to her in July. She's fine, and still a great performer. |

Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,John from Kemsing Date: 14 Oct 14 - 06:45 AM This morning I saw, in Sevenoaks, notices for Julie Felix at the "Stag Theatre" this month. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,DTM Date: 14 Oct 14 - 03:08 AM Saw her a few years ago at a gig in Scotland. Enjoyed hearing her sing again. "We stood in the windy city" ;-) |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,Desi C Date: 13 Oct 14 - 02:09 PM Julie is still going strong, she appeared in my home town Kilkenny just a year ago, and locally in a Folk Club in Stourbridge (Near Dudley) fairly recently and I see her gigs advertised now and again in the Folk Monthly magazine |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,guest Date: 12 Oct 14 - 07:36 PM What happened - dunno but Daddys taking her to the Zoo tomorrow - ding dong. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Backwoodsman Date: 12 Oct 14 - 03:43 PM My band did a charity gig in Bucks in July which Julie appeared in. She was, as ever, superb. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Ian Hendrie Date: 12 Oct 14 - 02:59 PM As this old thread has popped up it gives me a chance to mention that Julie is appearing in Stockport on Monday 8th December. Tickets are available on the website and are selling well. Looking forward to it! Midway Folk Club - Julie Felix |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,Isabel Date: 12 Oct 14 - 01:42 PM I saw Julie Felix in great form at Charlton House last September. What an amazing woman. At her 70+ full of beans, had us up with a standing ovation. Lucky us to have her in a small venue like that, organised by the Global Fusion and Arts community. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Steve Parkes Date: 18 Apr 10 - 02:31 PM Is that Burntwood Staffs, sapper? I saw her at -- what was the name of the pub?? Tackeroo Junction was the resident band, anyway. Julie was on with her daughter. Don't think I actually sang that night. (I know when I'm outclassed!) |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: sapper82 Date: 18 Apr 10 - 11:37 AM Well, I saw her at Burntwood a few years back and then at Crich Folk event last year and the year before. Still very good and VERY professional! Last year at Crich And the year before |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Cusco Date: 17 Apr 10 - 05:53 PM She certainly never went away just cut down and changed emphasis. I was in Glastonbury a few tears back. The town that is not the festival. She was a main name artist at the Goddess convention. I then went to her more recently at The Square Chapel, Halifax. She was very good. Strange penchant for kicking her foot over her head and I don't think she'd changed the strings on the martin since the sixties. She did "Halleleluja" far better than any of the hopefulls on pop idol or whatever it was. She explained that Cohen had borrowed her guitar to write songs when they were in Europe at the start of the sixties. Pretty good. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Terry McDonald Date: 17 Apr 10 - 07:05 AM Five years late, but it was Dave Evans (who ran Dorchester Folk Club in the mid 60s) that Julie Felix was married to. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,Wendy re: Theatre on the Steps, Bridgnorth Date: 17 Apr 10 - 06:13 AM She IS still going strong, voice is better than I remember. It was good to hear old favorites after all these years plus songs she'd written herself that I'd never heard. She made the audience laugh & cry with passion & sensitivity and she came out after the concert which was a real pleasure to all of us who queued to talk to her. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Tam the man Date: 24 Oct 05 - 09:08 AM She appeared at the Irvine folk club and the Marymass Folk festival a few years ago, marymass folk festival is also run by the Irvine folk club. Tom frae Saltcoats Scotland |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: the fence Date: 24 Oct 05 - 04:49 AM Reckon you have just about said everything that we all felt SJ. Amazing woman. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Strollin' Johnny Date: 24 Oct 05 - 04:45 AM Yep, Julie's Very much alive and well, and is a remarkable lady. A truly powerful performer still, her incredibly powerful voice sounds great, she plays some fine guitar, and she comes across as committed to the world she loves as ever she was. I was a very proud guy when I introduced her at the Gainsborough Festival yesterday, and even prouder when I thanked her at the end of her (long by anyone's standards) set. She stormed the place, and she goes down in my book as one hell of a performer. Julie's one of the Greats. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Georgiansilver Date: 24 Oct 05 - 04:27 AM WELL. No disrespect to those of you who were somewhat negative about Julie Felix in the current Folk scene but you must have caught her on a bad day! She was the Star guest at Gainsborough Folk Festival this year and brought some absolute magic with her performance, reflecting the protest songs of the past and present and cultural songs from her own framework. Her performance was dynamic and what a lovely lady! Best wishes, Mike. |

Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: BanjoRay Date: 06 Oct 05 - 03:10 PM There goes another dozen brain cells Ray |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Lanfranc Date: 06 Oct 05 - 01:36 PM The ZOO song was Paxton, not Guthrie, Ray! I've booked her a couple of times over the years, she was never up there with Sandy Denny, Linda Thompson or Barbara Dickson, IMHO, but I never lost money on her gigs. I seem to recall that she'd gone a bit militant feminist last time I saw her, but it was a while ago and that phase may have passed. Pleasant rather than exciting or charismatic sums her up for me. Alan |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: BanjoRay Date: 06 Oct 05 - 09:15 AM The ZOO song was the worst thing anybody's ever done to Woody Guthrie. She used to murder some classic folk stuff back in the sixties, and only got anywhere because she looked good. Wrong voice, wrong guitar, a taste -free zone. Just my opinion! Ray |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 06 Oct 05 - 06:55 AM Yes, I always liked her in the '60s but hated that "ZOO" song that was done to death. Nice to know she's still active. RtS |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,Clive Pownceby Date: 06 Oct 05 - 02:46 AM Had the pleasure, two years back in September 2003, of MCing her at Portpatrick Folk Fest.in Scotland and what a delighful woman to spend time with. All on the bill, including Anthony John Clarke, Vicki & Tref. Willaims, North Sea Gas and me(!) shared same dressing room!!!! Venue = village hall, so it was an intimate affair - concert AND dressing room!!!! Only one mirror - we let Julie have first use of it. She seemed to have several mobile 'phones all charging up at once!!!! Phew, Showbiz eh? A gracious lady and good company, she brought the house down and not just with her 60s material. She's still writing, and choosing others' first-rate songs. We all encored together with "Wild Mountain Thyme." A good memory to have. Long may she run. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Oct 05 - 12:26 PM Drat! Of coarse, Har draws what I meant! |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Tig Date: 05 Oct 05 - 09:01 AM Saw her guesting at the Hardraw Gathering (not Rawhead Mr H) in August. This was part of her 'Rainbow' tour. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Trevor Date: 05 Oct 05 - 08:01 AM I've seen her two or three times in the last couple of years - that was a real nice sesh at the BC weekend that Snuffy referred to. I got a kiss from her as well. Saw her earlier this year at a village hall do in deepest Shropshire - I really like her delivery, although I can understand it not being to everyone's taste. And, topical today of all days, I think she was resident for a while on The Two Ronnies show - before Barbara Dickson. |

Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Jim McLean Date: 04 Oct 05 - 04:28 PM Strollin' Johnny, yes, I think he did live in Lincoln then but later moved to Birmingham where is is today. Heady days indeed and I think we were all in a bit of a haze. When we were in Germany I looked after Julie's suspenders when the temperature rose .. imagine, imagine! |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,Pompey Date: 04 Oct 05 - 03:53 PM Last time I saw Julie Felix was at the Railway Folk Club in Portsmouth in the late 90s. I have to say she wasn't brilliant. A colleague and I left early saying "Thanks for the memories". |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Strollin' Johnny Date: 04 Oct 05 - 12:26 PM Jim, Nigel Denver was the guest at the inaugural night of the first-ever Gainsborough Folk Club, and I wuz there! Small world innit! It was late-sixties (I lived in a permanent haze then, but I'd guess at around 1967) and it was at the Horse & Groom pub (better known by the locals as The Arse and Doom). The club went on to become The Bothy, and everybody who was anybody played there during the late 60's and early/mid-70's. I think Nigel was residing in Lincoln, and did for some time after. Heady days! S:0) |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,BusyBee Paul Date: 04 Oct 05 - 11:36 AM Wot, you bored GS?! I am (should be busy at work but what the heck!) |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Georgiansilver Date: 04 Oct 05 - 11:33 AM By the way...isn't Slim Eric from the U.S? I have seen some of his posts and the use of grammar would suggest American rather than English. Perhaps someone knows him/her. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Georgiansilver Date: 04 Oct 05 - 11:31 AM Guest impressed is impressed eh? I suppose promotion of any sort has to be good but there is the odd negative vibe appearing here. Not all the thread has been positive. However, having not seen her perform for many years I can only look forward to sampling her singing again and hope she is as good. Bet she is!!!!!!! Best wishes, Mike. |
Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,Impressed Date: 04 Oct 05 - 10:22 AM What a crafty way to promote the Gainsborough Festival. Start what appears to be a totally unrelated thread asking what happened to Julie Felix then drop in a promotional thread about her appearing shortly at the Gainsborough Festival then follow-up with a few more threads about how wonderful Gainsborough is. Brilliant promotion! |
