29 Dec 03 - 05:48 PM (#1081839) Subject: Janet Jones - Where did she go From: GUEST,Lancashire Lad Does anyone know whatever happened to a female folk singer called Janet Jones? She recorded 2 LPs in the 1970s on the Midas label (UK). A tremendous voice and fine interpreter of traditional songs. Would love to know if he is still recording or made any other albums aside from the two (now almost worn out) albums I have already. Also does anyone know anything of her history, where she came from, who she sang with, etc |

30 Dec 03 - 08:03 AM (#1082267) Subject: RE: Janet Jones - Where did she go From: Greycap She used to sing at the Watermill Inn at Pateley Bridge a great deal- I last saw her about 3 years ago at Allan McEvoy's funeral ( leader of the Crofters ) and she was fine. She used to live in Bingley, or thereabouts, I believe. D'you want me to ask around, see if anyone knows where she is at this time, address, etc? |

30 Jul 11 - 04:04 AM (#3198362) Subject: RE: Janet Jones - Where did she go From: Jean(eanjay) Janet has a new CD out. It is called "A Fresh Wind Waves" and is a re-mastered version (2011) of a Janet Jones 1976 EP. It is available for purchase from the Bronte Parsonage Museum shop in Haworth. Janet's website is currently under construction and should be up and running in three weeks time. The CD will then be available from the website and a link to the website will be posted on this thread. Emily Brontë was born on 30 July 1818 at Thornton, Bradford. I made this video of one of the poems/songs on the CD and uploaded it to my YouTube channel at the beginning of July. It has been made public today to coincide with the anniversary of Emily's birthday. November 1837 |

30 Jul 11 - 04:08 AM (#3198363) Subject: RE: Janet Jones - Where did she go From: Jean(eanjay) I should have made my previous post clearer by saying that the CD has 5 Emily Brontë poems set to music by and sung by Janet Jones. |

05 Aug 11 - 07:24 PM (#3202363) Subject: RE: Janet Jones - Where did she go From: Jean(eanjay) A bit of the flavour of Yorkshire here ~ but not where I live :) This song was written by Bob Jackson and is sung to a traditional tune by Janet on the LP "Sing To Me Lady". It's about pollution in Yorkshire. Ode To A White Rose |

06 Aug 11 - 08:46 PM (#3203010) Subject: RE: Janet Jones - Where did she go From: Jean(eanjay) Just need to put right what I wrongly posted earlier. "Sing To Me Lady" was the first LP (1972) and the 2nd LP (1974) was simply called "Janet Jones". |

09 Oct 16 - 05:13 AM (#3813561) Subject: RE: Janet Jones - Where did she go From: GUEST I am Janet's husband and sang with her for a while. We were both at Alan's funeral, a sad and joyous occasion. I'm afraid Janet is no longer singing. She has Lewy Body Dementia along with type 1 diabetes and can't really remember words or play guitar. I sometimes play guitar and she tries to sing along to written words. If anyone would like more info please email me homekey24@hotmail.com |
