With the Rebels (guitarist and singer Jiří Korn , organist Miroslav Helcl , Bassit Svatopluk Bohem and percussionist Anatoli Kohout ) he then played the blues-rock titles of the group Cream . The group disbanded in 1970 after Korn's departure. Until 1972 Juračka was a member of the Flamengo group .
At the Semafor he played in Ferdinand Havlík's orchestra . After the death of guitarist Jiří Lahoda , he was his successor in Eva Pilarová's group . In 1979 he became guitarist in Michal Prokop's group Framus , and from 1980 he was a member of Jan Kratochvíl's group Heval . After leaving in 1985, he succeeded Jan Martínek in the Žlutý pes group . With the reactivated Rebels , Juračka recorded several successful albums after 1990.
