I just remmebered her and how much I was in love with her! OK so it was a fantasy that a lot of us had! Go on admit it. Is the lovely lady still alive and if she is what is she doing now? |

03 Oct 05 - 07:54 PM (#1575059) Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Don Firth I saw Julie Felix only once. In the early Seventies, "The Val Doonican Show" was a summer replacement for "The Andy Williams Show," and I got to watching the Doonican show because he was personable, a pretty good singer, and he sang a lot of Tom Paxton's songs, among others. He also had some interesting guests on, such as Burl Ives. Many of his guests were singers I had never heard before. One was Julie Felix. She did a couple of solos and she and Doonican did some duets. I was highly impressed. As far as I know, other than the guesting in the Doonican show, she never got to this side of the pond, but I could be wrong. I've often wondered where she was and what she was doing. Don Firth |

She's still performing and her voice is as good, if not better, than ever! Check out her website as above. Remarkable woman. |

From: nager I too remember Julie Felix from the 60s and saw her here in Austrlaia at Newcastle NSW a few years ago at a small theatre. Got to talk to her after the show and reminisce a little about the 60s, especially the Isle of Wight 1969 festival which I attended. It was headed up by Dylan and Julie sang there too.. along with a host of others (but that's another story). Julie was actually married to David Frost for a time. At Newcastle she still sounded great (and looked good too!) and had her daughter with her. Great lady |

04 Oct 05 - 02:44 AM (#1575230) Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST,Sooz sans cookie Here is what it says in the Gainsborough Folk Festival programme: In 1964 Julie was the first solo folk artist to be signed to a major British record company. Since then, she has played all over the world and notched up 40 years as a professional musician. "Life is a journey. My journey has had its laughter and its tears, but I consider myself very blessed. I have made England my home, and you have made me feel loved and welcome...thank you from the bottom of my heart. May music help love and peace find a safe and secure place in your hearts." Why not come along and see her? (21st - 23rd October) |

04 Oct 05 - 07:47 AM (#1575358) Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: GUEST Saw her a few years ago at Redditch festival. Must say, I never thought much of her, one of those 'right time, right place' people who rapidly get left behind by the real quality people. Saw her at the Isle of Wight festival in 1969, and I must say I thought she was one of the lowlights of the afternoon. She was even reduced to singing Dylan covers before Dylan came on. How embarassing is that? But yes, I used to think she was pretty and she doesn't look all that different nowe. |

04 Oct 05 - 09:58 AM (#1575455) Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Jim McLean In the early sixties, Julie, Nigel Denver and I played the American camps in Garmisch Patenkirchen, I played the pipes! What a combination. When she decided to go to London I gave her my brother's address and she eventually met Bruce Dunnett through whom she arranged a contract with Decca. I don't think she ever married David Frost but she lived in the same building as I visited her once with my then girlfriend, now my wife. That whould be pre-1966 as we got hitched then. I haven't seen her for about 40 years but if anyone runs into her tell her I was asking after her. She was great fun. |

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.

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. |

06 Oct 05 - 01:36 PM (#1577256) Subject: RE: What happened to Julie Felix? From: Lanfranc 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.

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. |

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. |
