Cherry Red

Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.

Julie Felix was a British based, American-born folk singer. She was born on 14 June 1938 in Santa Barbara, California, USA and sadly passed away on 22 March 2020. In 1964, Julie made the bold move to the UK where she became the first solo folk artist in Britain to sign with a major label.
Throughout her career, Julie captivated audiences with her soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics. Her music resonated with listeners across generations and her influence can still be felt today.
With her unique blend of folk and protest songs, Julie used her platform to address important social issues of the time. Her passion for activism shone through in every performance, making her an iconic figure in the folk music scene.

A 2CD set capturing a moment in time, the music of Julie Felix and a re-issue of the first three albums by Decca UK’s first folk signing. Featuring Julie’s repertoire from the sets she had performed on constant live tours since 1961. Fresh from touring Europe Julie Fleix had been spotted by Leonard Cohen in Ibiza and then relocated to London. Following growing success as a troubadour on the UK circuit from folk clubs up to the Fairfield Halls in Croydon, and later the Albert Hall, Julie was offered a contract with Decca. She originally left Santa Barbara, California with her Mexican guitar, singing songs learned in Mexico and California, and songs picked up along the way. Injecting a modern consciousness into the traditional scene, she was totally at one with the times. Including songs from her Spanish-Mexican heritage, songs from her contemporaries Dylan, Seeger, Ochs and Tom Paxton (including the famous ‘Going To The Zoo’, and ‘What Did You Learn In School Today)’, plus songs from her new found friends Donovan and Bert Jansch, and songs from her own pen.
