Welcome to the MUNGOMANIA Website. As ever, our aim is to keep all fans of Mungo Jerry in touch with everything that is going on with the worlds number one front man, with regular news updates, interviews with the various band personel, both past and present, features and much, much more.
"the Mungomania site looks terrific" - RAY DORSET "full of interesting features and sections" - MIKE COLE “Darling is an idiot. Brown is worse. Ignore them and follow instead the teachings of MUNGO JERRY. Have a drink, have a drive, go out and see what you can find". - JEREMY CLARKSON
(In The Sun newspaper, April 2009)
“either with lots of orchestration as they had been doing, and sounding like ELO, or more to my roots with skiffle and great honest sounds like MUNGO JERRY" - JOHN LENNON
(Replying to being asked in the 70's what music THE BEATLES would be playing now)
I would love to hear from fellow fans so please sign the guest book or take part in the forum - just click on the icons below!
MUNGO AND ME: The brand new RAY DORSET biography, MUNGO JERRY AND ME will now be published on the 15th of November.... MUNGO JERRY BUDAPEST DVD: LIVE CD: PROCESSED PEA: Derek arranged for the recent Tuesday night PROCESSED PEA gig to be professionally filmed and recorded, so we can expect to see a DVD and CD of the highlights. It was a really great gig so should be something really special to look forward to. TO VIEW PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE GIG - CLICK HERE 'PROCESSED PEA 2010' You can now see a clip from the Processed Pea gig by following the link below. Derek has passed on footage from the first night's gig to MARC VISCEL who has uploaded 'HAVE A WHIFF ON ME' to You Tube. Fantastic stuff!

Apologies to those who missed it, but MUNGO JERRY were finally featured on B.B.C's, 'THE ONE SHOW' on Friday the 16th of July (which funnily enough was 39 years to the day of my first MUNGO gig). It was a short piece with Ray talking about 'IN THE SUMMERTIME', with some archive footage. If you did miss it, I'm sure you can catch up with it on B.B.C I-PLAYER. |
 MUNGO JERRY's former road manager RAY CLEGG has sent me some old shots taken during his time travelling and working with MUNGO JERRY during the 1970's. |

Ray has called to let me know that our good friend, ROLAND DUNNE has sadly passed away. Roland was a big mate of mine and someone I first got to know back in 1971-ish when he ran the GRIDDLEBONE Club, which was a kind of un-official fan club. It was amazing as he seemed to get his hands on some very rare MUNGO JERRY collectables. He was able to supply me with PAUL KING's rare solo singles, and also let me know of the MUNGO track, 'SANTO ANTONIO, SANTO FRANCISCO'.Of late, he had just taken over as LONNIE DONEGAN JR's manager. All MUNGO fans thoughts are with Roland's family and friends. |
 It's always good to hear from Joe calling from France for one of our chats, but our latest natter was a little different. Joe informed me that he had suffered a stroke on Christmas Eve and spent Christmas Day and the following week in hospital receiving treatment. UPDATE:12/02/10 - Spoke to Joe again last night and he is just fine, though not looking forward to going back to hospital to have more work done. It's not because of the treatment - "they stuck me in a room with a load of old boys"!. He has hooked up with another band over in Rennes, playing double bass and shows no sign of slowing down just yet! UPDATE:04/06/10 - I spoke to Joe the other day and he is recovering well, still playing gigs, remaining ever hopeful that he will get to play with Ray again hopefully during this year of celebration of 40 years of MUNGO JERRY and 'IN THE SUMMERTIME' - he's up for it Ray! |

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT
In Australia, a TV advert was released which includes footballer, HARRY KEWELL, of Australia, Liverpool and Leeds United, and now playing in Turkey. The music is MUNGO JERRY, playing 'ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT, and the advert is about soccer, for a company called Solo that have been supporting Australian soccer since 1973, the year 'ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT' was released. The advert goes on for one minute, about kids playing football with squashed cans, with 'ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT' the main focus, and the ending is HARRY KEWELL walking into the Olympic stadium in Sydney. Thanks goes to BOB GILPIN, over in Oz, and Alan in Sydney who left a message in the guestbook, for the info. Thanks guys! CLICK HERE TO VIEW SOLO ADVERT |

AIX EN PROVENCE - 1970
Hi everybody who is interested and prepared to help with a long on-going and expensive investigation. It came to my notice some time ago that a certain number of my master recordings were being licensed out for compilations around the world without my prior knowledge or consent, to third parties by persons and or firms that had no rights to do so. Further more, not I or any of my companies have received payment or statements in lieu of this activity. This situation has been reported to the relevant authorities and it would be very helpful for my case if anybody out there that has purchased or has access to any of these items would inform me of the title of the compilation, if it is a multi-artist compilation or a MUNGO JERRY compilation, if possible when and where it was purchased, what label it is on and a scan of the complete insert. This also applies to tracks from the album, 'A CASE FOR THE BLUES', that I recorded with PETER GREEN, JEFF WHITTAKER and VINCENT CRANE. In particular, I am seeking information on tracks that have been licensed out by the following companies which happen to be companies owned and controlled by the Cohen family, Eliot and Joanne, and the names of which, but not limited to, are as follows, Sound and Vision Management Ltd, OVC Media Ltd, AMI Media Ltd, Waveffect Ltd, Associated Music Ltd. It would also be of interest to me to have the same information regarding, but not limited to the following artists: LES McKEOWN/BAY CITY ROLLERS,JOHN DU CANN/ATOMIC ROOSTER, DEREK DALLENGER, KELLY MARIE, BRUCE AND BONGO, JESSE GREEN, THE ATTACK, THE TROGGS, PETER GREEN, GEORDIE (feat BRIAN JOHNSON).

RARE 1971 MUNGO JERRY POSTER
JJ in France has found a poster advertising a MUNGO JERRY in Nice in February 1971. He has other copies (nearly MINT) and they are available to fans for 15 Euros (inc post & packing). They are NOT reprints, but original posters and as you can see, very colourful and ideal for framing. |

I have now introduced a new section for the website which is called THE FANS! Basically, we ask fans of MUNGO JERRY a few questions about their love for their favourite band. I'm starting to get a few responses in, and will contact everyone in the MUNGO JERRY database, and here I have the first reply which was from Marc in New Jersey. Marc, who many of you will know puts together those wonderful MUNGO video's on tube and I have included a link to his latest, and best in my opinion, at the end of the piece. What I require is; |

Original MUNGO JERRY bass player, MIKE COLE, (who has recently revised his interview on the INTERVIEWS page) now has a brand new website and although it is still being developed, it is already looking great and naturally has references to MUNGO JERRY. The site can be found by clicking on the image to the right. |
WHAT'S THIS MEAN?

MUNGO JERRY!

Mungo fan AUSTIN MURRAY has added MUNGO JERRY to the myspace.com website and would like some help with pictures, comments, etc. "Anything you would like to send me for the site would be great! I would love to add some new stuff to it, I check it every day and we're averaging about ten new friends a day!" |
NEW ON-LINE SHOP WENT LIVE - 12 NOON, (20/09/06) The official MUNGO JERRY site and shop is located at www.mungojerry.com
 |  |  |  | |
| Don't forget to check out the on-line MUNGO JERRY shop located within the official MUNGO JERRY site. It has replaced the 'old' fan club shop that served the purpose so well for when we first set up 'mungomania' but has now made way for the faster, cleaner and BRAND NEW VERSION! There are several new items either in the new look shop, or 'COMING SOON' and to say that there are several mp3's available for download would be a massive understatement with many albums, including the latest recordings, 'NAKED FROM THE HEART' and 'COOL JESUS'. |
