The British band Junco Partners, from Newcastle, formed in 1964. They took their name from an old blues song written by New Orleans bluesman Willie Hall. They modeled their style on the style of The Animals, with whom they frequently shared the stage at the A'Gogo Club. Their performing partners included Howlin' Wolf, Freddie King, Fleetwood Mac, and Deep Purple. The band's calling card was the presence of two frontmen, and musically, the prominent role of keyboards. Having gained a steady reputation, they were among the bands trying their luck at Hamburg's Star Club. However, they were discovered and deported by German immigration officials, who discovered they were too young to obtain a permit for such work. Returning to England, they continued performing at various Newcastle clubs. By the time they had the opportunity to record an album, the group had been reduced to a quartet. A self-titled album was recorded in 1970, released under three different covers. The group disbanded in 1971. Charlie Harcourt worked with Lindisfarne and Jackson Heights. Bob Sargeant was a member of the Mick Abrahams Band and Everyone. In 1977, the former members reunited to perform at a local rock festival. Afterward, they participated in several studio sessions with Eric Burdon. They remain active today, releasing the album Almost Live - Full Steam R'n'B in 1996
