Presentation of Lonely Street Gene Vincent :

 

Welcome to  Gene Vincent Fan Club.

It has been up and running since 11th february 2007, an anniversary date chosen as a symbol, even if the website is still a work in progress.

Gene s life is detailed by years, the site is growing every day.

You will find in the miscalleanous section the latest updates ,  it will show you the different topics and a list of the online material.

This  website is mostly based upon documents given by people who met Gene, during his touring in France for exemple. Fans have kept over the years newspapers, authentic documents, stories, pictures, about these experiences shared with Gene, as well as my personal collection.

Many thanks to these fans for these accounts, making it available to other fans, who, like myself, were not there in Gene s lifetime.

And many thanks to those who did not know him, who did not have the chance to shine at his sides, but who are fans today! You guys are great!

It is thanks to them that all this material can be gathered. I hope you will learn more about the man, the artist, and his exceptional fate.

The main purpose of this website is to gather Gene Vincent fans (they are very numerous), or to make you know Gene better if you have not discovered him yet. All the available means are used to allow real exchanges, despite the distance  (the website to learn more, the forum to allow fans to meet other people like themselves, and the blog to give the possibility for the young generation to listen to Gene Vincent.

An important part of this website is dedicated to the french translations of english documents about Gene Vincent. Special attention will also be brought to Gene s tours in France

The international fan club on Myspace was open on spring 2009.

These exchanges and discussions between fans in the middle which had until then remained closed to many seems today a necessary move.

 

I am lucky enough to have the possibility to build this website, and I hope that the discovery of new documents will make you as happy as I am : I have spent so much time looking for interesting material, and found only a few biographies that I could understand only with the help of a dictionnary.

Audio interviews will be translated in french as soon as possible. In the audio section of the blog (see the main navigation menu, at the top), you will also find some song lyrics, they will be added little by little.

If you register on our forum, you will find exclusive material and Ann Vinyl montages . You will be able to read the latest news about Gene Vincent, and we are also waiting for your impressions and questions.

If you want to submit new material that is not already online, a special section is available.

This  fan club has been created, so that no occasion to organize meetings, events, or homages shall be missed

We are very pleased to have

Dickie Harrell from The Blue Caps as an honorary member,

his presence is truly a gift, many thanks to him!

LONELY STREET FAN CLUB GENE VINCENT - california press  :

 

 

GENE VINCENT FANS MARK 40th YEAR SINCE DEATH, BURIAL AT FRIENDLY VALLEY — First-generation rockabilly/rock 'n' roller Gene Vincent, whose immortal single "Be Bop A Lula" and rock movie appearances with his group The Blue Caps made him a superstar on both sides of the Atlantic in 1956, died 40 years ago Oct. 12 at age 36.

A posthumous Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee in 1988, Virginia-born Vincent is one of the most famous residents of Eternal Valley Memorial Park and Mortuary on Sierra Highway in Newhall. He's buried in Plot 91 in the Garden of Repose.

Christian Bouyer, a fan from Angouleme, France, who now lives in L.A. and works at DisneyToon Studios as a CG character modeler, is coordinating a memorial gathering for Vincent fans. He's setting it up in conjunction with the Gene Vincent Lonely Street international fan club run by Lee Loo, who's traveling from her home in France to attend the event and visit Vincent's burial site.

Every fan of Gene!

It will be very emotional to meet you all on the occasion of Gene's 40th anniversary of his passing .

Maybe , like myself , you will be able to be in Newhall with Gene this time around .

I'm sure he would be happy to know that we gathered to celebrate his music for which he lived. On this occasion, I will be in Newhall, and I hope to see you there.
