Junco Partners... The North East’s Legendary 60’s R&B band in the Bistro Bar
Date:
Friday 12th February 2010
Time:
8.45pm - TBC
Ticket Pricing:
£9
The Junco's return for another night of fantastic R 'n' B.
Formed in 1964, the Junco Partners started out playing to North East crowds in Newcastle and Sunderland. They later went on to play alongside the likes of The Who and Rod Stewart and when the band split in 1971 individual members played alongside great artists such as Elkie Brooks and Robert Palmer.
After reforming once again in 1977, they gained wide success, capturing new audiences and attracting the attention of Television and Music producers. Now returned to their R'n'B roots, they continue to receive fantastic support from a growing and enthusiastic audience playing only at a few well selected gigs.
Reviews
From John Porter (Malibu California) LA record producer for Buddy Guy and ex Roxy music and Newcastles own Gas Board
'When I first saw the Junco Partners playing in Newcastle in 1965 I thought that they were the best band around on the strength of their recent album 'Almost Down In New Orleans' It would seem that nothing has changed'

BBC Radios Doctor Rock
"We will be playing the track 'Something You Got' from your new cd, on the Dr Rock Show due to be broadcast on the 13th Jan '08. Dr Rock says he loves the album and would like to know your availability for coming in to the show."

Informer Magazine December 2007 ---- "A new album by the Junco's and probably their best one yet. If they really lived in their spiritual home New Orleans they would probably have a street named after them Ronnie Barkers performance is the best I have ever heard him on record, relaxed and thoughtful. John Andersons vocal delivery is very good The sheer energy, delivery and quality suggest a band in their 30's, not a band from the '60's - but hey if the Stones can still cut it then the Juncos are in the same race."
With their unique brand of soul and blues and their entertaining good humour, this is sure to be another exceptionally entertaining evening.
