Welcome to the OFFICAL Mickey Jupp & Legend site
OFFICIAL, Because this is the only site run by LEGEND, so it will keep you up to date with what Mickey and the rest of the guys are doingLatest News 1: It is with sadness that we announce the death of one of the founder members of LEGEND, Nigel Dunbar He recently passed away and will be missed by friends, family and fellow musicians. Nigel featured on the very first album, which is now a collector's album for fans of home grown Rock'n'Roll. A re-released copy can be obtained by clicking on the following link Repertoire Records - REP5066 Latest news 2: Live at the High Cross On the 27th February Mickey was tempted out of his house, by beer and money, to play with his old friend, Mo Witham and his band in a one-off concert at The High Cross Inn, Broughton-in-Furness, Cumbria (Check it out on-line). By all accounts it was a great gig! I have vague recollections of what went on through a haze of beer fumes (we were celebrating Firehouse Studio Barry Vernon’s birthday!!) but I did get a few photos, and Mo recorded the whole gig. Unfortunately most of the recording was lost except the last set, which features on this album. Mick was in fine voice and Mo’s guitar sounds amazing….at least that’s what I think. Of course, I could have been slightly (?) drunk. Let Lars know what you think because he’ll probably be streaming the tracks on his site. Live at the High Cross CHECK THE ALBUM OUT HERE!!
Latest news 3: After an initial delay of two weeks Christ East has finally had his triple heart bypass operation and is recovering very well. Work on Vol.2 of the Collector's series and the new Legend album, 'David' goes on........... The Guys?

One of the biggest thanks has to go to Lars Karrback in Sweden,who runs the definitive Mickey Jupp web site for his tireless work in keeping the Jupp / Legend name in the public eye. Without his help we wouldn't have got the publicity or exposure that we've had, nor the sales of the album, which are still ongoing.......
