Jacks call it a day
Geordie Jack from The Jacks (and previously Colorado & Caledonia) has announced on his Facebook page that The Jacks are to disband at the end of the year . Looks like we might not have seen the last of Geordie though. His statement reads:
Hi All, I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported The Jacks over many years. We are dis-banding at the end of this year. I'm very proud of both my sons Kevin & Trevor who are both fantastic musicians, and also Dado who has been a loyal buddy for a very long time. We've had some great gigs and memories from all around the globe. I'm now going to be spending my time writing and recording and if that all works out, then I'd probably like to do some selected gigs in the future. I'm not sure what the other guys plan to do but no doubt they will re-appear in some new form, and I'm sure it will be awesome. I do still love to sing and play all the story-telling songs & self-penned material, but no more weddings/ dinner dances doing the 'flogged to death' cover songs etc.
Who knows, this ageing singer may well find new opportunities to perform in your locality if enough folks are still interested, so I hope I'm not completely written-off quite yet. Meanwhile, my sincere gratitude to everyone who came to any of our gigs and enjoyed 'The Jacks' era. We still have a few gigs to go yet, but we know and appreciate it's only been possible to play our music with such huge support from so many people.
To all those good folks,Thank you once again,
Geordie
