Jack tell me he gave you a date for Ashbourne Festival - when is his hour of glory - shall I call you stumpy, or are you burnt to friends?

He gave me a date but was a bit vague as to what he was doing, Is it a festival and who else is on?
You can call me what you like as long as it's not sweet heart!

Its at the beresford Hotel. You go to the centre of ashbourne, look for a road out to Buxton and there it is. He is support act to an American. I think I put the details on the Jack Hudson gigs thread. Im not sure how you go about getting tickets. Perhaps the beresford would know.

Also Pete Thom has given him a gig at Mansfield Folk Club which is at The Brown Cow in Mansfield on Tuesday nights. I think it might be near Christmas, but I haven't got the details.

I will post them when i have.

Come on you Club Organisers out there, book Jack fer Chrissakes! He may not be as young or pretty as some of the current crop, but what a voice and what a player! He's forgotten more about live performance than most have ever known.

His website is http://www.jackhudson.co.uk

(Sorry, blue clickie-making doesn't work for me) Advice please anyone??

I was very proud to sing Jack's song "Driftwood and Nails" on BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Folk Program tonight. Not as good as Jack does it, but it gave me the chance to give him a plug!

You're so right CdM, he's a great guy and a great performer. Why don't a few more people wake up to him?

Subject: RE: Jack Hudson

Date: 21 Sep 04 - 12:01 PM

I've wondered about this.

It seems very strange, doesn't it. After all, you and I John we're not bad guitarists - but guitar playing is something you can put there if you work at it.

A voice like Jack's though - its a once in a generation thing. I really think there are a lot of people who aren't picking up their responsibilities in the media etc. and bringing this fine artist to the forefront. In a few years there will be diminishment of those great powers.

Its like we had a Pavarotti or a Paul Robeson in this country and we thought no sod it, we'll put the best of the Smurfs on tonight AGAIN

Well I hope you are going to do a 20 minute floorspot when Jack comes to Market Rasen Folk Club on March the 11th 2005 - weelittledrummer, as well as Strollin' Johnny.

Subject: RE: Jack Hudson

Date: 21 Sep 04 - 12:08 PM

Yep, you're right WLD. And, as often happens with great singers, Jack's voice has improved with the years - back in 1970 I'd never have believed it could get any better but it certainly has, and how! Perhaps if he was a 20-year-old, pretty-boy, pale-pink Gareth Gates wannabe he'd have more luck.....................??

It's a shame, too, that his old albums aren't available any longer. Great performances of excellent songs lost for ever.

"It's a shame, too, that his old albums aren't available any longer. Great performances of excellent songs lost for ever"

Why should they be, there must be hundreds of people out there with vinyl albums, why can,t someone get permission off Jack to allow them to be transferred to CDs and then decide what to do.

I would gladly do the transferring at zero cost (see vinyltransfer.me.uk) can't do blue clicky things, and this is not an advert for my services, just letting you know this is a genuine offer.

Just a thought anyway.

why thank you whb.
i will let Jack know very soon. perhaps he has got all his recordings.

I believe I have one of his albums in my loft.( The arm fell off my dansette several months ago!)

Thanks for the offer of the floor spot villan - March 11th goes in my diary!

I know you said it's a very small room. i have a couple of baby p.a's- Fender Passport jobs the 150 watt and the 250 watt jobbos.

Would you like that, or my weapon of choice is a 500 watt Peavey thing - which isn't large. However if you fee they are superfluous I will understand.

Don't ask how I got submerged in all this electronica. Its like pornography (they tell me) buy one and you just can't stop yourself......

You are booked WLD.

It is accoustic. So you will be able to leave them all behind. If people could hear you at Tattershall, they will be able to hear you at MRFC.

The only time amplification is needed is when I book an artist who is singing all the time professionally, and if they say they want amplification, then I allow it. e.g. Bob Fox & Vin Garbutt.

I can do tapes too, in fact I cleaned and transferred one recently for katlaughing, it was of her dad, G.L. "Sparky" HUDSON, talk about coincidences.

It would be a very interesting project if it gets off the ground.
