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!!

We recently discovered 3 x reels of Mick's demos from way back, plus DATs of all the Chris East/ Mickey Jupp songs from when they were writing together in the 80's

Digitising this mass of material is a Mammoth Task!

Lars has already given you a taster of some of the songs ('Favourites') but

Country & Northern is the first volume to go on sale.

In an effort to preserve the true originality of the recordings all we have done is digitally enhanced them for the true Jupp/Legend fans.We hope you like what we've done!!
