The Juncos performing Howlin' Wolf's Smokestack Lightnin' for the upcoming documentary "Gettin' the Blues".

John Woods

The Juncos enjoy the talents of two unique singers of who combine Soul, Blues with spontaneous good humour that enliven the whole occasion. Two distinctively different lead guitarists and a fine Rock'n'Roll sax player each have the ability to pull mind blowing solos out of thin air. In addition the long running rhythm section partnership of Fender bass and a drummer, who has played with Robert Palmer and Elkie Brooks, form a sold platform to encourage all to fill the dance floor.

Formed in 1964 Juncos took over from the 'Animals' at the famous 'Club A'Gogo' & 'Downbeat Club' in Newcastle. The band experience instant popularity all over the North of England playing frequently at the Mayfair & Majestic Ballroom in Newcastle and at Redcar Jazz Club, Kirklevington Country Club Sunderland's Bay Hotel and Cubana & 'Blue Note' Clubs and venturing to Carlisle, Sheffield and all points between sometimes playing twice a day.

Ronnie & Dave talk about the Club A GoGo


Six years on the national rock club and college circuit followed playing with 'The Who', 'Rod Stewart', 'Jethro Tull' 'Jimi Hendrix' 'John Mayall Band' and many others. They toured as backing band to Blues giants 'Howlin Wolf and 'Freddie King' in 1969 and were delighted to gain Wolf's respect.

Incidentally the Juncos appear in a new book on Howlin Wolf called 'Moanin' at Midnight' written by James Segrest and Mark Hoffman that was published recently by Thunder Mouth Press New York ISBN 1 56025 683 4 and get some good mentions and we have recently contributed to a forthcoming book on Eric Clapton/ John Mayall in preparation by Christopher Hjort who has a book on Jeff Beck out now so we still attract interest from unlikely quarters and recent feature in John Topler 'NorthStars'.

The band made single and album releases but split in 1971 when individual members went on to play with Robert Palmer, Elkie Brooks, Mick Abrahams, Mick Ronson & Lindisfarne and tour the world.

Re-formed in 1978 the 'Juncos' returned to their R'n'B roots playing R'n'B classics performed in an entertaining way with good humour, skill, love and respect. Remarkably they continue to receive fantastic support from a growing and enthusiastic audience playing only the very best & well-selected venues, concerts & Blues festivals.

Junco Partners clip 1


Occassional TV appearances include TTTV forerunner to 'The Tube' 'Alright Now' with Eric Burdon especially flown in from Los Angeles to jam live in the studio. Recent Granda TV appearance in December'03 and past BBC TV cameo as 'the Juncos' on Jimmy Nails Spender' demonstrate the lasting interest in the band and confirms the indefatigable quality that still attracts and pleases their audiences. Recent accolades echo the sentiments made by the great Howlin Wolf three decades ago and Sting, Jimmy Nail and John Miles more recently.

Still going strong having just come back from a successful tour of Spain playing the Juncos new CD 'Almost Down in New Orleans' is now on sale and has been acclaimed as the Bands best album in their long career bringing New Orleans to New 'Castle

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

Promotional Video(My Girl From The South Sea Isles)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
