22 Jun 01 - 04:43 PM (#489937) Subject: David Jones From: Suffet Any David Jones fans out there? This British-born singer is going to be appearing at the Seaman's Church Institute in New York City on the evening of July 19, 2001. That's a Thursday, and the show will start at 8 PM. That gives you enough time to get home, freshen up, and maybe get a bite to eat before stepping out. The Seaman's Church Institute is at 241 Water Street, just a short walk north from the South Street Seaport Museum. The concert will take place in the Seafarers' Club on the second floor. David Jones has an enormous repertoire of songs from both sides of the Atlantic. He sings both a capella and with guitar or concertina accompaniment, and he involves his audience in refrains and choruses ranging from boisterous to sentimental. And he's a damn funny story teller as well. Maybe some of you remember David from Poor Old Horse. This concert is a special summer addition to the New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club "Folk Off-Broadway" series. General admission is $10. NYPFMC members pay just $9. --- Steve |

23 Jun 01 - 01:04 AM (#490193) Subject: RE: David Jones From: 2 in harmony Thanks for info on Davey Jones upcoming July 19 concert. His experience and natural, friendly rapport make his concerts extra special. Not ususally included in these is his passion for singing American Broadway Musical numbers. I've heard him in informal, spontaeous situations and his voice holds its own against our original production Broadway leads. Never know what will happen next. |

23 Jun 01 - 01:51 AM (#490205) Subject: RE: David Jones From: Peter Kasin David Jones is one of the singers who was an early inspiration for me when I first started listening to sea music. The album "Songs Of The Tall Ships" which he recorded with two other members of The Starboard List was one I used to check out of the library often, along with MacColl and Lloyd, and Louis Killen. Now it's on a double CD along with their second album. I heard him perform solo a few years ago and he is a fine performer indeed, and as 2 in harmony points out, has good stage rapport - a great sense of humor. Thanks for the heads-up, Suffet. -chanteyranger |

25 Jun 01 - 10:19 PM (#491868) Subject: RE: David Jones From: Liam's Brother I first met David about 30 years ago. He and Liam (Yes, there is a Liam Milner) and a few other guys were singing at South Street Seaport in New York and I started singing with them too. Later Dave and Charlie O'Hegarty were resident singers at The Eagle Tavern in NYC. I've heard a lot of David and a lot of other singers as well. He is one of the best. Should be a really fine concert!
All the best, |

12 Jul 01 - 05:43 PM (#505294) Subject: RE: David Jones From: ukelady I am personally looking forward to David's (not Davey)concert for the NY Pinewoods Folk Music Club. I always enjoy listening to him when he performs. I have had the pleasure of sharing the stage in humorous song sessions at festivals with him, and he is always a treat. David performs a wide range of material, and all of it well. With some performers I want to say, "Oh, no. Not again." For David I say, "Oh great. I'll be there, for sure." Mudcatters, come and say hello to us at the concert. Evy (ukelady) |

Richie is living in a rather isolated place, and always is happy to hear from old friends. For those who don't know him, Richard is a fine boat carpenter, welder and fiddler, with a few good old songs as well... Cheers, Larry |

13 Jul 01 - 12:09 PM (#505773) Subject: RE: David Jones From: GUEST,Winick (at work) Just another plug for David--great singer, fabulous repertoire. I don't know him well personally, but I know he's a nice bloke. I always get a thank you note after I write a review of one of his albums. One time, when I reviewed the Starboard List, he told me I'd been TOO generous, as a few of the tracks were crap. I love that! Steve |

13 Jul 01 - 12:39 PM (#505805) Subject: RE: David Jones From: DaveJ Someone said on an earlier thread that he had been at Oldsongs last year(2000). My problem is that I don't remember seeing him there. Can anyone confirm this. (CRS might be setting in*g*). I did pick up one of his CDs at Sandy Paton's kiosk, however. I just don't remember the title. Something about tall ships/?/ (Oh well, must be CRS). Any way I highly recommend his music.
