Bob Fox & Stu Luckley

I haven't been able to find a website for Bob Fox & Stu Luckley which gives details of their recordings, so I've put the beginnings of one here.

I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to send me the tracklist for their second LP, Nowt So Good'll Pass.

Or any other details.

Of course, if there already is a Fox & Luckley website, I'd like to hear about that instead.

Whoops! I meant the other one: Wish We Never Had Parted.

Bugsy, Do you have a copy?

Try www.bobfoxmusic.com, a nice site for a smashing bloke, the usual tour info etc as well as a few mpegs for downloading via the albums page.

Ironroad is now a permanent part of my hard drive.

Thanks sledge!

Could you be bothered typing up the tracklist of 'Wish we never had parted', Ritchie?

I'd like to know which ones were re-recorded for 'Box of gold'. Then I'll know which ones I may never hear ...

:-(

cheers, Garry

I trust you guys are aware that they re-recorded much of "Now't so good . . " and "Wish we never . . " onto CD. A reasonable reaction to the fact that the masters of the originals had disappeared into the well-known vaults of Celtic Music.

Gaz, sorry I didn't get back to you earlier but I only just noticed this thread. I see you've got the info you required anyway. Good on you for starting the Webpage. If you PM me I'll give you the email of my mate Rickie, who may have some photo's of interest.

Cheers

Yes, it is "Box of Gold" where much of the two LPs was re-recorded. IMO the re-recordings aren't ALL as good as the originals, but it's a fine CD.

Sorry for the delay - Mudcatting from work with a poor memory, so had to check details at home.

Thanks Keith, They used to come up to Scotland quite regularly, Kirkcaldy folk club for example. If anyone knows whether either are going to be up this way again, i would like to try and look them up for old times sake

Bob posts fairly regularly to uk.music.folk, so you could try asking there...
