first heard the junco partners at the mayfair ballroom in newcastle in about 1966 and was hooked, i went to see them perform as often as possible, great blues band.
Crikey.. I used to see the junco partners at the cooperage in newcastle back in the late seventies and early eighties. 28 years ago, Blimey I am having a flash back, everybody dancing hot and sweaty in a very crooked building. Hey it was fun, thanks.
Hey Juncos: Smokestack Lightnin' has one of the greatest hooks in the history of Rock 'n' Blues! You guys really kick it! [I seem to remember the Animals' version was pretty cool, too, though I haven't heard it in almost 40 years. (From an LP called *Animalism*, I think{?})] Rock On, guys!
When? In 1970's? What they played back in that time? Exclusively blues? I have their album from 1970. and it is somewhere on the half way between blues and prog rock, very interesting, strong organs.
At the time of the album they were a four piece, with Bob Sargeant (vocals and organ), Dave Sproat (bass), Charlie Harcourt (guitar) and John Woods (drums).
The best blues band to come out of Newcastle absolutely Brilliant. Des

I had a pub in Newcastle and Juncos played there and filled the place every week. They were fantastic.

Hey there,
I think the Juncos were a 3 peice band on that cd that you are talking about and they had changed their style quite a bit.
earlier on they did a lot more Blues at the club a go go.
