A BAND that last played in the West Country in the 1980s is back by special request.

Rhythm and Blues band Juice on the Loose will be doing this one-off performance at Evershot Village Hall on Saturday November 19. They have managed to assemble all of the original musicians to take part in this surprise reunion, even flying in two members from Ireland. The five members in the band are: Charlie Hart – bass and fiddle, Geraint Watkins – keyboard, accordion and vocals, Ron Kavana – guitar and vocals, Ed Deane on guitar and Les Morgan on drums. This is a very talented group of musicians and songwriters who have played with many luminaries in the world of music. There will be a bar. Doors open at 7.30pm, tickets cost £12 on the door.

Thanks for the heads up. Did anyone manage to go?

That Poster Fish site has a link to a lovely documentary about travellers' contributions to Irish music. Worth listening to if you have an hour or so to spare:

Thing is, i can't find any record of their existence anywhere. No store on Kavana's site, nothing on Amazon, Ebay, Tower Records Ireland... I suppose he's probably selling at gigs, but i thought i should be able to find something, somewhere! Anybody heard?

Notice he has a web site up again (he's been FB only for a few years at least). Of note, there's an expanded discography listing a bunch of things i've never heard of... and can't seem to find any record of existing anywhere else! Sigh...

It really is a great album, esp. how it builds; it's got a real flow beginning to end. And the pairing of The Rolling Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown" with "The Blacksmith's Daughter" was inspired.

It's a shame about how it never got a proper release. Actually, my wikipedia page on it got deleted based on a policy about unreleased albums by obscure artists, been meaning to go add something on the main Kavana page about it. I guess it was that experience that sent him outta the music industry for a while.

I just re-read it and, crimey, that chronology is so far beyond wrong it's just plain incomprehensible. Clearly a cut & paste disaster of epic proportions. Kind of funny, in that it clearly contradicts itself.


Inspired by the lack of info out there, using the crap all music article & liner notes from "alien invasion", i've done a quick wikipedia entry for ron kavana. feel free to check, add, edit, etc. Wikipedia, my new hobby for the evening shifts at work...

Thanks Philip, i've bought it now. Somehow i was having trouble connecting that tacky 80s bright colour album art with music I might like.

("Juice on the loose" typed into search engines on amazon, ebay, and google brought up a lot of O.J. books & movies. Last night, lying in bed, i started laughing. Mrs. Me said "Are you ok?" "Yes," I replied. "It's just..." "What?" she encouraged. "THE JUICE IS ON THE LOOSE!" i yelled. Which is a pretty fucked up situation but funny that we've turned it into a nursery rhyme).

Found more on the band here:

Philip (or anybody), could you tell me if either of these might have Ron on it? The 7" is 1981, which is promising, but the LP has no date listed (it's Chiswick, tho').
