11 Feb 00 - 08:30 PM (#176910) Subject: John Goodluck back From: Smeebes The various threads on the return of the British Folkies reminds me that John Goodluck has put together a CD of his early recordings (from the first half of the 1970s) and has also done a gig, but seemingly rock rather than folk. The information is here. Anyone out there remember John from the 70s ?? |

12 Feb 00 - 02:38 AM (#177024) Subject: RE: John Goodluck back From: Stewie I can't get your 'clicky thing' to work. However, I have a 1974 album by him on the Tradition label called 'The Suffolk Miracle'. Roy Harris joined him on a few of the songs. I haven't listened to it for yonks, but I recall that I particularly liked his rendition of 'The Murder of Maria Marten'. Now that you've reminded me of him, I will give the LP another spin. Cheers, Stewie. |

08 Oct 13 - 05:15 AM (#3565088) Subject: RE: John Goodluck back From: GUEST,Ronald Hi John I don't know if you will read this but it is nice to see that you are back performing. I do have your first two album and the Trunkles one. Last night I did visit your website and listened to the song Crow boy which is one of my favourites from the album and I also followed the lyrics. One thing struck me, in the second line you sing Cowd, meaning cold but the way it is pronounced is exactly the same as the Dutch word for cold, koud. I wonder if there are more words in the Suffolk dialect which sound like Dutch words and mean the same thing. |

10 Oct 13 - 07:49 AM (#3565638) Subject: RE: John Goodluck back From: GUEST,John G Hi Ronald, You are correct as a lot of our Suffolk words originate from North Holland, "waggon" being one of the better known ones. As we are so close to our neighbours the Suffolk peasants that survive still sing the songs that connect us across the cold north sea that we now know was once "land". These days I write the songs for the "Bards of the Heath"but haven't forgotten the unbroken link. The band are getting more and more bookings so we must be doing something right. Have a look at the youtube entries on the Bards page to familiarise yourself with the new line up. Best Wishes John G |
