Jim Fox . . . . . a hairy man! . . . . . NME ......................................................
When Jim is not performing as a solo artist he is usually working hard as part of MADRA RUA ...............................................................................
During the 1990s, Madra Rua were probably one of the hardest working acts touring the UK, playing at Irish Clubs and Bars, folk clubs and festivals, often playing 5 or 6 gigs in a week. After a number of recordings and many thousand miles of travelling, circumstances led to members pursuing different directions. Then, last year, founder members Ian Thomas & Jim Fox decided to get together and play some concerts and have been continuing to do so whenever the opportunity arises. ...................................................................................... AND REMEMBER, YOU CAN BUY JIM FOX MUSIC BY CLICKING THIS LINK Jim Fox on iSOUND.COM ...................................................................
Its hard to pigeon hole the music of Madra Rua but here are two singer-songwriters performing their own and other peoples songs with a hint of Irish, Reggae, Country and Soft-Rock and a fair bit of humour ....................................................................
Two guitars, two voices and a lot of balls .............................................

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Hi JIM FOX, I Draw Slow are playing The Cobblestone, Smithfield in Dublin on Wednesday 24th June, supported by the amazing Thomas Kitt. Doors are at 8.30 and admission is €10, a small price to pay to see the citys two premier acoustic acts don't you agree? On the off chance you disagree, come down on wednesday next to the Cobblestone, Smithfield Dublin and we'd be happy to discuss it.
