VERY OLD NEWS!
5th August 2009	Memories of Woodstock.... sadly just a memory!!! The event has been cancelled by the promoter. So we'll be playing a home game on Friday night; The Half Moon in Crawley, up close and personal. Hopefully see some of you there.
30th July 2009	The band has just been confirmed as playing at the Memories of Woodstock Festival in Shrewbury on Friday 7th August. Check out the link on the LIVE page for details of the full line-up as well as information on ticket prices and booking.
19th June 2009	The gig on Saturday 20th May at The Carlisle in Hastings has been cancelled by the venue. Apparently they have cut down to one band a week and we had to go! Those of you in the area take a look at the LIVE page as we have a few gigs on the East Sussex coast over the next couple of months to make up for your disappointment!
18th June 2009	Sorry for the silence over the last couple of weeks. We were so busy gigging and sleeping and Internet connectivity was a bit of a problem too! Anyway, we're back on the mainland but are already working on plans for a return to the TT in 2010. More on that a lot nearer the time! We will be posting a blog on our MySpace page just as soon as we have time to write it. In between catching up with the laundry and continuing with our gigs on the mainland. If you have any photos or video of the band, or have posted video on YouTube please get in touch so we can either put it in the gallery here, or point people at it. A CONSUMER ALERT!!! :-) We have become aware of a problem with the t-shirts we were selling on the Isle of Man. A fault in production meant that the ink was not cured properly. The result of this is that the print will get badly damaged the first time you wash the shirt, even on a cool wash. Obviously this is not good. The problem was noticed and rectified after a few days and any shirt that was purchased bagged should be OK, but the shirts sold in the first few days are defective. If you have a shirt that turns out to be faulty then please send an email with the title FAULTY SHIRT to info@juicylucyinfo.co.uk so that we can arrange a refund or replacement, whichever you prefer, and the return of the shirt to us so that we can claim the cost back from the manufacturer. Our apologies to anyone affected by this problem.
1st June 2009	Interesting developments, and we've only been on the Isle of Man a couple of days! We have hooked up with Greg Lambert Racing, a Formula 1 and Formula 2 Sidecar racing team who are competing here at the Isle of Man TT. Greg's bike caught fire a few weeks before the TT and he sent out an SOS for sponsors to help meet the cost of rebuilding the bike and getting to the Isle of Man. Given our recent problems with transport and the fact that we were going to be playing on the island during the TT we thought it would be interesting and fun to help him out. Greg's sidecar (number 14) now sports the Juicy Lucy logo, while Greg and his team are looking rather good in Juicy Lucy t-shirts. Given the amount of interest in the TT and bike racing in general, this tie up should help to make a lot more people aware of the name Juicy Lucy. Both BBC and ITV, as well as various international networks, will be covering the TT so the logo will be seen worldwide. Check your TV listings for details of the coverage and tune in! Check out his web site at www.greglambertracing.co.uk to find out more about him. We have some exciting news in connection with this relationships coming soon!!!!!
9th May 2009	Following on from the bad news about Weymouth yesterday, we have picked up a gig for tonight (9th May). You will be able to find us at The Bay in Seaford, East Sussex. A new venue for us, so please come and give us some moral (or otherwise) support. You can find a link to their web site which had address and contact details on the LIVE page.
8th May 2009	A bit of bad news for those of you in the South-West! Unfortunately the gig tomorrow at Finn's in Weymouth is not happening. Unknown to us the pub had a change of management a few months ago. The new managers had no idea we had been booked and have someone else booked in for Saturday night. So, all we can say is Sorry, and hope to catch up with you soon!
27th March 2009	Bad news Boys & Girls... the decision has been taken to cancel the gigs in Newbury and Dover this weekend. Mr. Fish has had to go to hospital today for some tests as a result of problems he has been experiencing since the accident. As we don't know what is going to happen in the next couple of hours we have decided that the safest and fairest thing is to cancel at the earlist opportunity. Apologies to all who were looking forward to seeing us this weekend, but don't worry. We're tough as old boots and will be back in action as soon as is humanly possible.
25th March 2009	Finally back from Germany and what a nightmare that turned out to be. Great people, great gigs, but somewhat spoiled by having a 7.5 tonne truck run into the back of us at speed, writing off our bus and quite a lot of gear in the process. By some miracle the Merry Gigsters escaped with only minor injuries; cuts, bruises, concussion etc. Having been to see the wreckage it should have been a LOT worse!!!
11th March 2009	Sing... "we're all going on a summer holiday".... well, not exactly a holiday but it will certainly be fun I'm sure. Juicy Lucy will be bringing their brand of rock 'n' roll to the Isle of Man during the TT races in June. Check out the LIVE page for the list of our island gigs. VROOM, VROOM!!!!
4th February 2009	Damn!!!! Just found out that the gig on Friday 6th February at The Flying Horse in Ramsgate is off.  Venue is switching to live music on a Saturday, but forgot to tell us. Hope to sort out a revised date there soon. In the meantime we will be at Churchills on The Paragon on Sunday March 8th.
17th January 2009	Here's a surprise. Having been unable to agree with the rest of the band on standards of behaviour, Ray has taken the decision NOT to return to performing with Juicy Lucy. What does this mean for the band? Not much really as Mr. Fish, Fletch and James have been getting the "power trio" thing down pretty well since Ray fell ill again in November. So, forty years on Juicy Lucy goes through another rebirth. This latest change to the line up means that you can look forward to both some new songs, as well as the return of some tunes that probably have not been played live for over thirty years. God Bless the '70s!
17th December 2008	An update on Mr. Owen's progress. He has been out of hospital for a couple of weeks now and is feeling much better. His consultant has advised him that the lung has healed well and should not be a problem in the future. Ray is taking a break over the Christmas period and the band will be getting together for rehearsals early in January. All being well Ray should be returning to performing some time in January.
11th December 2008	Isn't it ironic..... usually the press are only to ready to ignore us. How strange that when a paper does print something about the band THEY GET IT WRONG!!!! What am I ranting on about? Well, it seems that a piece has been run in the local paper in Grimsby in connection with our gig Friday night at The Yardbirds Club. I am told that the article says that we are currently without either singer or lead guitarist. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Whilst Ray is still out of action following the operation on his lung in November, Mr. Fish is fighting fit and happily covering vocal duties, as he has done since the start of November. So, anyone who might have been cosidering not bothering coming out on Friday, think again otherwise you will miss a top rockin' night!!!!
27th November 2008	Hmmm..... Wednesday's posting (see below) seems to have stirred a few people up! We have had a think about things and would like you to take a couple of minutes to read a statement from the band.
25th November 2008	In response to the emails we have been receiving, just wanted to let you know that Ray is still in hospital, but seems to be recovering well. The operation seems to have been a success and he is hoping to be allowed home some time this week. However, we are not expecting him to be fit enough to return to performance before February 2009 at the earliest. In the meantime the band will continue to perform as a trio, with Mr. Fish combining vocal and guitar duties. Thought you'd like to know!
13th November 2008	Another short notice change and some news. First, the gig on Friday 14th November at The Half Brick in Worthing has had to be re-scheduled to Friday 13th February. Second, Ray is back in hospital! Admitted late last week, he had surgery to repair his damaged lung on Monday. He seems to be doing well, it's now just a matter of waiting while things heal properly.
24th October 2008	Another change, this time at very short notice! The gig tonight at the Crow's Nest in East Grinstead has been cancelled by the venue. No explanation (yet). Hopefully we will be back there in 2009. Also a reminder; the band will be playing at the Boom Boom Club in Sutton, Surrey tomorrow (Saturday) 25th October. This is the rescheduled gig from August when Ray went sick. Hope to see a few of you there!
7th October 2008	Some changes to gigs in October. First, the set at The Railway Hotel in Bromley has been moved to Saturday 6th December. We have two additional gigs in October, on Thursday 23rd at The Beaverwood Club in Chislehurst and Saturday 25th at The Boom Boom Club in Sutton. See the LIVE page for links to venue and ticket information.
29th September 2008	Just had the Dog & Partridge in Staines on the phone. They have cancelled the gig there on Sunday 5th October (see the LIVE page). However, they are hoping to be in a position to book an alternative date by the end of the week. Watch this space!
12th September 2008	Ta Daaaaa!!!!!!! Tonight sees the return of Mr. Raymond Owen to singing duties. Present yourselves at the Essex Arms in Brentwood, Essex to witness this marvelous event! :-D
14th August 2008	Just to let you know that Ray is now out of hospital. Many thanks to all those of you who sent Get Well messages, either by email or on our MySpace page. Ray now has to recuperate, and we have no idea how long this will take. For now we are taking things a week at a time. The gigs this weekend in Ramsgate and Ware will be covered by the trio of messrs Fish, Fletch and James. Expect a lot of Lucy material, plus a few surprises!
8th August 2008	Bad news people! Sorry to announce that Ray is in hospital, recovering from a collapsed lung. Obviously this is very serious, but he is in no immediate danger. However, he is not expected to be able to perform until the end of the month at the earliest. This means that JL performances at the Boom Boom Club in Sutton today (Friday) and at the Bulldog Bash on Saturday have had to be cancelled. We would like to send our apologies to those of you who turned out at Sutton. We appreciate your support and are disappointed at having let you down. Hopefully the date can be rescheduled for later this year. We have yet to discuss the rest of the dates booked for August with the venues involved. Watch this space for further details! And on a different note; those of you who have seen the band over the last few weeks may have noticed that Fudge has shrunk (in two dimensions), and has lost a lot of hair. That would be because a few weeks ago Fudge took the decision to leave the band. His reasons are personal, so we won't go into them. So what does a band do when the bass player leaves? In this case they unpack the spare! James, the band's manager and producer, has been filling in while various people were considered for the bass player role. Ray's illness has prompted the decision to stick with James on bass for the time being. So, welcome Mr. James!
1st July 2008	Just had the stage times through for the Gosport Waterfront Festival on Saturday 5th July. JL will be on stage at 8.40pm, followed just over an hour later by the very marvellous Nazareth! Line-up for the afternoon is: The Worried Men (5.25pm), Debbie Bonham (6.30pm), Stray (7.35pm), JL (8.40pm), Nazareth (9.45pm). Pray for fair weather and we'll see you there!
3rd June 2008	News just in, JL have been confirmed for the Main Stage at The Bulldog Bash on Saturday August 9th. We're chuffed!!! So, the festival list for this summer is: Gosport Waterfront Festival - Saturday July 5th Cambridge Rock Festival - Saturday July 19th Bulldog Bash - Saturday August 9th Rhythm Festival - Sunday August 31st Go to the LIVE page for links to the event web sites.
12th April 2008	Nosing around eBay today (everyone has to have ONE vice!) I found this. Does this mean we're famous? :-)
28th March 2008	CANCELLED GIG - The gig at The Queen's Hotel in Weymouth on Saturday 29th March has had to be pulled as the result of "diary failure" on the part of the venue. They send their apologies to you (and us) and we can assure you that the date will be rescheduled ASAP.
8th March 2008	Looking forward to some good festival type gigs this year!!!! Already booked is the headline spot at the Paignton Bike Festival in May, a support slot for Nazareth at the Gosport Waterfront Festival and a return to the Cambridge Rock Festival, both in July as well as a set at the lovely Rhythm Festival in Bedfordshire in August. Details will be on the LIVE page as we get closer to the gigs. Remember, you can get monthly reminders of upcoming gigs if you subscribe to our email updates service. See the CONTACT page for details.
15th January 2008	Greetings All The band are starting to get warmed up for the 2008 campaign and we kick this year off in style, playing at the reknowned Rock & Blues Weekender at Butlins Skegness on 27th January. Actually we're closing the whole event, playing on the Centre Stage at midnight on the Sunday. See You There!!!
5th December 2007	Another rut in the road to stardom! This time occurring in the West Midlands. Unfortunately the gig on Saturday 8th December at Katie Fitzgerald's has been double booked, so JL won't be playing. However, we have re-arranged the date for Saturday 26th April 2008. So, when you get your Christmas diaries, make a note!
3rd November 2007	It had to happen one day, hearing that a gig has been cancelled while we were on our way. So, the award for being the first goes to The Castle in Luton. I won't be bitchy and recount the conversation, suffice to say I think it's pretty shabby. Call to the MU legal department on Monday I think!
19th October 2007	Some rather nice photos of the band at Riffs in Swindon back in September have been posted at the Apple County Choppers web site
1st October 2007	Wooo Hooo! Just found out that Totalrock have chosen "One Time, One Place" as this week's Powerplay track. Go listen to Totalrock.com!
11th September 2007	The gig at The Lincoln Imp in Scunthorpe on 12th October has had to be cancelled as a complete rewire of the place has been scheduled by the brewery. Shame!!! However all is not lost as the band will be at The Adelphi in Hull on Saturday 20th October.
26th August 2007	Some good pics of the band on stage at the Cambridge Rock Festival have been posted on the BBC Radio Cambridgeshire web site.
9th August 2007	New additions to the MUSIC page; more YouTube madness to be checked out!
13th July 2007	We got played on the BBC!!!! Thanks go to Jez Sallis at the Audio Files show on BBC Cambridgeshire for playing "Facts of Life" as part of their support for the Cambridge Rock Festival.
6th July 2007	Those of you in the habit of checking the LIVE page will notice that the gig at The Beehive in Hemel Hempstead has been cancelled. Unfortunatley the venue has had it's music license suspended as the result of ONE complaint to the local council. We wish them good luck in their appeal against this decision, and hope to be able to re-schedule the date in the near future.
29th May 2007	Check out the MUSIC page as we have just uploaded the first of several live videos to YouTube. Also take a look on the PHOTOS page as we have just posted a new gallery of pics from The Riga in Southend. And very nice they are too!
27th May 2007	We have just been advised that the Horsham Classic Rock Festival has been cancelled by the organisers. The organisers have committed to getting any refunds due sent out in the next 28 days.
25th May 2007	Nothing for months and then twice in nine days. Am I turning into a bus? First off, CD Baby have now received stock. Hurrah for Royal Mail and the USPS! Steps have been taken to shorten the lead time to the US so we should never be out of stock at CD Baby again (famous last words?) BIG NEWS - Tickets for the Cambridge Rock festival are now on sale. Go to www.cambridgerockfestival.co.uk for prices and ordering information. Highlights of the festival this year, apart from JL's performance of course, will be sets by Thunder, Wishbone Ash (the Andy Powell version), Australian Pink Floyd, Dr. Feelgood, Nine Below Zero, Eddie & the Hotrods, Deborah Bonham, John Otway, Stray, Man and many others. One fine weekend of music at a reasonable price and if it pours with rain it's all under cover. How good is that!
16th May 2007	Good Grief! Two months since we last put something here. Tut, Tut! Some news for those of you looking to purchase the CD through CD Baby. They are currently awaiting the delivery of new stock. We sent supplies out about six weeks ago but Royal Mail / USPS have not managed to deliver them yet. Please be patient. If you really can not wait and are interested in purchasing downloads then the music is available from iTunes and Napster worldwide, as well as a variety of national and international download services.
6th March 2007	This should be good! JL have so far been booked to play at three rather interesting events this summer. First there is Moxters of Rock at The Vic Bikers Pub in Coalville, Leicestershire on Saturday 23rd June. Sixteen bands throughout the day, mainly quality tribs, for a mere £25. Next up we have the Horsham Classic Rock Festival on Saturday 7th July at Horsham in West Sussex. Five bands including JL, headlined by Limehouse Lizzy, again £25. From what I've heard this is going to be a BIG gig; they're spending a small fortune on the staging, lights and PA. Finally (for now) we have the Rockinbeerfest near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire over the weekend 17th - 19th August. JL will be playing on Saturday 18th. Currently waiting for the organisers to announce the final line-up / running order / ticket prices. However if past years are anything to go by this is a great event, mixing quality bands old and new.
18th February 2007	A couple of things. First, there seem to be a lot of new visitors to the site so Hello to you! Once you've had a poke around on here you might want to go to our MySpace page at myspace.com/juicylucyreturns. Send us a Friend request, leave a comment, send us a message.... please, we want to hear from YOU. Second thing. The band has submitted an entry to the O2 Undiscovered competition. To help us get the attention of the judging panel it would be great if you (and your relatives, friends, casual acquaintances, strangers you stop on the street) would vote for us. Just go to the Rate The Music page at www.o2undiscovered.co.uk, search for Juicy Lucy and, assuming you like us, click on the Rate It button. Simple as that!
26th January 2007	Yes, I know it's been quite for a while. Happy New Year! Actually, not so happy. Just to let you know that the gig at The George Venue in Andover on Friday 2nd February has been cancelled by the venue. We're not too chuffed by this, but so it goes!
3rd November 2006	Some good photos of the gig with Budgie and Stray last week can be found at the photographer's web site.
13th October 2006	"Do That And You'll Lose It" is now available to buy on Apple iTunes in the UK and USA. Go to the BUY page for direct links into iTunes. If you access iTunes from any other territory and find the album listed, please email us a link to the relevant page and we will add it to the BUY page here.
9th October 2006	The venue curse strikes again! The gig at The Night Owl in Cheltenham has had to be postponed as a result of a small fire at the venue last week. Fortunately (for them) the damage is minimal, but as they could not be certain of being fully operational by Tuesday evening the gig has been pulled, to be re-scheduled for a later date.
4th October 2006	Another addition to the gig list. The band will be playing a benefit gig in support of Amnesty International in Sutton Coldfield on Saturday 11th November. On the bill will be People's Republic of Mercia and World Service. Follow the link from the LIVE page for a map.
26th September 2006	What is is with venues this month? Yet another change, again in the South West. The Three Fat Fish in Exeter is no more. It has changed hands, been renamed The Hub (nothing to do with The Hub in Plymouth) and because the new owners "could not get in touch" they cancelled the gig planned for the 19th October! Never mind, because we have relocated to Paignton. Tracey and Debra of T&D Presents, promoters of Rock@ events in Paignton, have pulled things together at VERY short notice and the band will now be playing at The Lighthouse on Esplanade Road in Paignton. There will be a link to the venue details on the LIVE page ASAP.
22nd September 2006	The BIG news!!! We've made it into Classic Rock magazine. Page 20 of the October issue see's the band get half a page featuring an interview with Ray and Mr. Fish. Interestingly enough that's the same amount of space that they have given to Motorhead and Stewart Copeland. We're in illustrious company. The same issue also has a review of the new CD. Happy that it gets a 7/10 Good rating. On the gigging front some of you need to be aware that the gig at Jax in Ilfracombe has been moved to the Exter Inn, Barnstaple. Check the link in the LIVE page for the address.
19th September 2006	If you check out the LIVE page you will see a gig at Maidstone Leisure Centre on 27th October. Just to clarify, this is a three band line-up with JL, Stray and headlined by Budgie. This will probably start quite early to give all three bands reasonable playing time and to allow for the changeover. We will post more details when we have them.
11th September 2006	Both of the mail order companies are now up and running with supplies of the new CD. There are links on the BUY page which take you directly to the relevant section of the suppliers' sites. Don't forget to check the LIVE page regularly to see if we have added a gig near you. And the bad new is... due to circumstances beyond our control, the gig at the Melton Theatre on Thursday 14th September has been cancelled. Any advanced tickets can be refunded at the Theatre box office. We are also postponing the gigs in Scotland at the end of October as a result of various venues not being available. We will be looking to re-book these dates, hopefully for December.
7th September 2006	The release date of the CD is confirmed as Tuesday September 12th. Initially it will be available for mail order in the UK and other EU coutries, priced at £9.99 plus postage. Mail order supplies for the rest of the world should be available by Tuesday 19th September at the latest. Check the new BUY page for updates. The BUY page will also include links to the various commercial download sites worldwide, as they come on-line during the month. Of course, if you are in England or Scotland you could always come to a gig and purchase a copy there. You will probably be able to get the guys to sign it, and we will make more money that way!
8th August 2006	We have just updated the MUSIC page with samples from all twelve tracks on the new CD. Additionally, if you go to our MySpace page there are four full length tracks for you enjoy. We will be changing the MySpace tracks in a couple of weeks time, with the intention that you will have had a chance to listen to ALL of the tracks from the CD before it is released. As an extra "treat" we have uploaded the cover art from the CD package for you to use as wallpaper on your PC. This is also available from the MUSIC page.
19th July 2006	The gig on 2nd September at Campbell's Landing in Clevedon has been cancelled as the venue is up for sale and the future owners have decided not to continue with live music. If you live in the area keep an eye on the LIVE page as we are expecting to announce a tour date in Bristol in the next week or so.
15th July 2006	Album, tour, and some public recognition. Lets start with the new CD. "Do That And You'll Lose It" wil be available worldwide from 12th September by mail order through this site and by download from the likes of iTunes, the track listing will be: Silver Bird / Making a Name / 40 Days / Species / Where Were You? / Madeline & Suzy / Only When You Know / Freedom / Facts of Life / One Time, One Place / God Only Knows / Floss As we get closer to the release we will be updating the MUSIC page with samples of the tunes, maybe a freebie or two, and links to the download sites as they come on-line. The tour kicks off on 14th September and will run through to the end of October. Confirmed dates are now listed on the LIVE page. Keep checking for updates as there are more dates to come. And the public recognition? The August issue of Classic Rock magazine has a round up of the "100 Top Blues Rock Tunes" and Who Do You Love? makes it in at number 89! When you think about it this is not 89 out of 100, but more like 89 out of tens of thousands. So well done the original members and a special "well done" to Ray, whose birthday it is today.
June 30th 2006	The new CD gets closer by the day! The release date is set as 12th September and a UK tour to promote it is being booked, dates to be announced in the next week or so. We are also booking radio and magazine advertising to promote the tour and CD so look / listen out!
May 22nd 2006	We have finally got round to doing things with our page on MySpace. If you are on MySpace please go to www.myspace.com/juicylucyreturns to add glowing comments about the band or to request that we add you to our Friends list. Also, we have just updated the MUSIC page here. You can now get your hands on the live version of "Pretty Women" from the raiding the fruit bowl CD-EP, as well as studio demo versions of "Freedom" and "Madeline & Suzy".
May 11th 2006	The Valley Rock festival due to be held in Nantymoel in Wales has been cancelled. The decision was taken by the organisers as a result of the license restrictions required by the local council. Read the details at www.valleyrock.co.uk.
May 9th 2006	Just a quick update on the gig situation. There is currently nothng listed on the LIVE page beyond June. We are working on a few things for July and August but our focus is putting together a tour for September and October to tie in with the CD release. As soon as dates are confirmed the LIVE page will be updated. Don't worry, Juicy Lucy are not going away any time soon!
April 11th 2006	Sorry to tell you that the gig on Saturday 10th June at The 12 Bar in Preston has been cancelled by the venue. Apparently they are moving the activities of their other Preston venue, The Mill, to The 12 Bar in the near future and as a result have got a lot of double bookings to resolve! Rest assured that we are working with them to confirm another date.
April 4th 2006	Latest advance in the Juicy Lucy plan for World Domination is playing in Wales. Specifically at the Nantymoel Valley Rock Festival on the first weekend in June. Check out the LIVE page for details and a link to the Valley Rock web site.
February 12th 2006	We're Sorry, We're Really Very Sorry! Who are we sorry to? Well, anyone who headed down to the Queens Hall in Nuneaton this evening, looking forward to seeing JL supporting Nazareth. Due to misunderstandings between parties outside of JL it turned out that  a local band had been booked to provide support this evening. So, apologies to anyone that missed us, I'm sure you enjoyed Nazareth lots, and we will be in your neck of the woods soon enough. You might want to catch JL at The Roadhouse in Birmingham on 11th March?
January 31st 2006	There's bad news, good news and very good news today. First the bad news. We have had to cancel the gig at the Horse & Groom on February 10th. An explanation follows. The good news is; the band will be playing a 30 minute set at the famous Borderline in London on Monday 6th February. This is a showcase gig for three bands, with JL going on stage around 8.30pm. The door charge for this is £7, but you can download this flyer to get in for £5. The flyer is in Adobe Acrobat format. Now the VERY good news. We have secured four more gigs on the Nazareth tour! The Diamond Dogs have had to cancel their gigs in the UK for personal reasons, so JL have been asked to step into the breach. This is the reason for cancelling the Plumstead gig. Apologies to those who were planning on coming to see the guys at Plumstead, but remember that you can catch them on 30th March down the road in Woolwich.
January 11th 2006	A change on the DOWNLOAD page. There is now a link to allofmp3.com which enables you to listen to 30 second clips of the tracks from any of the JL albums. You can also purchase tracks for download should you so wish, but we are not convinced that there is much chance of any money making it back to the songwriters or performers (or the record company).
January 6th 2006	"Pretty Women" from the "raiding the fruit bowl" CD will be one of three tracks reviewed by the Demo Panel during the South:Live programme on BBC Southern Counties radio this Sunday, 8th January at around 8pm. Tracks from two other bands will also be reviewed and the band with the favorite track gets to do an interview at the BBC, plus their music makes it on to the show's playlist. Follow this link to vote for your favorite track!
January 3rd 2006	Some news on upcoming live dates. First, the band are looking forward to performing some dates with Nazareth on their upcoming spring tour in the UK. First confirmed appearance is at the Beachcomber in Cleethorpes on 11th February. Also on the bill are Swedish rockers Diamond Dogs with whom JL will be appearing at two other gigs in February. Two important dates in April as well. On Friday 28th JL will be at the famous Halfmoon in Putney for the first time. Sunday 30th will see the guys headlining at the 2nd Paignton Bike Festival. For those of you who might be underwhelmed by the thought of Paignton, apparently last year saw over 10,000 (yes, ten thousand) people gathered on the prom there to enjoy the bikes and the bands. Not a bad gig! As usual, check out the LIVE page for phone numbers and links to relevant web sites.
December 1st 2005	Juicy Lucy will be lending their support to the 'Kash for Kashmir' fund raiser at the Apple Tree pub in Crawley on Sunday December 18th. The event is planned to run from mid-day with various bands, DJs and dancers lending their efforts for this worthwhile cause. JL will be playing a one hour set to round off the activities late on the Sunday evening. We know it's close to Christmas and everyone will be thinking of spending their money on the festivities, but please come along even if it is only for a couple of hours and hand over some cash for those who will not be decking the halls with boughs of holly because their halls are lying in ruins around them!
November 21st 2005	Some good news for those of you who dread the "festive" season. JL will be playing at The Prince Regent on December 31st so remember to drag yourselves away from the TV and down to Sutton that night to see the New Year in with the best rock band in the country!
November 1st 2005	NEWS FLASH! - The gig this coming Saturday, 5th November at the Rockin' Bay Horse in Chelmsford has been cancelled by the venue. Apparently the RBH has changed ownership and the music policy is being reviewed, with all gigs cancelled for the time being. I have been assured that JL will be rebooked at some point in the future, so keep an eye on the LIVE page!
October 21st 2005	Check out the latest on-line review of the band's live activities, this time from the Running Horse in Nottingham
October 12th 2005	Just confirmed, a gig at The Cartoon in Croydon in November. See the LIVE page for details.
September 13th 2005	We're still here! Yes, we've been quiet for the last month but a lot has been going on. The band have been busy writing, rehearsing and recording material for the new album (I've heard the rough mixes of what they have done so far and it sounds great!). The guys are off up to Scotland next week which sees the start of five weeks of hard gigging all over the country. Before that the band are taking their life in their hands on Sunday 18th September by sitting in on Tim Shaw's Asylum show on Kerrang 105.2. So scary!!!!
August 11th 2005	The studio time is booked, so next week the band start recording the first new Juicy Lucy album for ten years. As this will be released through the band's own record label there is no pressure to deliver on anything except quality. I know we have talked about having the CD out by the end of October and we WILL try, but please don't give us too much of a hard time if the release date slips. On the gigging front; JL will be supporting Budgie when they play in Southsea in October. Should be a top night! The first of the additional dates for Scotland in September has been agreed; Aberdeen's Cafe Drummond on the 26th. If anyone can suggest (or offer) a gig in Glasgow over that weekend, please email us.
August 5th 2005	Well, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that the gig on the 19th at The Junction in Burgess Hill has been cancelled by the venue. Apparently we were double booked against a multi-band punk event, so we lost. We should be booking another date at this venue next week. News when we have it. The good news is that we are going back to Scotland again in September. Currently confirmed to play at Bannermans on Thursday 22nd with Atomic Dog and Blank Generation (hello guys) as support. We will be booking other dates in Scotland for that weekend so keep checking the LIVE page.
July 19th 2005	Those awfully nice people at The Hairless Heart Herald have posted a review of the gig at the Robin 2, with pictures! (If this keeps up we will have to create a reviews page)
July 7th 2005	As a result of the bombings in London earlier today, the gig at the 100 Club scheduled for tomorrow (8th July) has been canceled. For those who bought advanced tickets, please contact the point of sale for a refund. There's nothing more to say.
June 27th 2005	At last, we've got a new CD available!!! "raiding the fruit bowl" features four tracks recorded live on the first part of the tour. Samples will be on the download page in a couple of days and we are sorting out on-line purchasing for those of you who can't wait until we play in your area again. ALSO - more gigs arranged in various parts of the country. See the LIVE page for details
June 17th 2005	Updates on the LIVE page. We are heading back up to Scotland for two dates over the July Bank Holiday weekend, in Dundee and Edinburgh.
June 14th 2005	We are sorry to announce that the gig at The Brook in Southampton has been cancelled. Ray has been ill for a few days and his doctor has advised him against singing for a week. For those of you who bought tickets, refunds are available from The Brook. We hope to schedule an alternative date in Southampton in the near future.
May 17th 2005	The band finally makes it on to the BBC!!! Well, the Beeb's on-line presence anyway. A very complimentary review of last nights gig at The Archer in Newcastle can be found here.
May 12th 2005	We are sorry to say that the gigs in Glasgow and Perth on the 12th and 13th May respectively have been cancelled. Both the band and the venues are sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused. The Dundee gig on the 14th May WILL be going ahead as planned.

March 21st 2005	Right, time to let you all know what is going on in "Lucy-land". As you can see from the LIVE page, we are putting together a jaunt round the UK in May and June. This little expedition has been named the "Walking Down the Highway" tour after the b-side of the original Who Do You Love single. As well as getting to see all you lovely people, we will also be promoting "Who Do You Love - the anthology" a best-of compilation which those awfully nice people at Sanctuary Records have put out. Before that we have a couple more warm-up gigs, in Hove (actually) and Hastings, before our appearance at the 12th Celtic Warriors Birthday Bash. We are sharing the Saturday night bill with (Oliver/Dawson) Saxon, Bernie Torme (who is rumoured to be bringing a very special guest as bass player) and Wishbone Ash. We intend to have a fine old time!
