Juicy Lucy at The Kings Arms 15th May

Since arriving on the music scene in 1966, Jucy Lucy has had its fair share of troubles, with US immigration problems in the late sixties, a change of line up in 1969, and its fade to the background following several chart hits. The band re-emerged in 1994, only to dis-band again in 1997. Changes to the line up over the next 5 years saw yet another emergence in 2002, but under a different name. By 2004, this had been resolved and Jucy Lucy returned to the music scene. With a successful relaunch in 2005 at the Eel Pie Club in Twickenham, the band set out to gig across the UK. playing from from Plymouth to Aberdeen.

In June 2006 the band went in to The Levellers' Metway Studios in Brighton to work on the first new recordings for twelve years. The value of extensive live performance showed when it came to the recording sessions, with the band completing the tracking for eleven songs in four days! The result of these sessions was "Do That And You'll Lose It", released in September 2006.

Today, the remaining trio of Mr. Fish, Fletch and James continue to develop both the music and it's audience. The Juicy Lucy legacy, which is now into it's 40th year can be witnessed at The Kings Arms at 9pm on 15th May.
