His charismatic stage presence and engaging stories have entertained audiences all over the country and all across Europe, including live sessions on BBC Radio 2, ITV television, The National Film Awards and a showcase at SXSW in Texas.
“Joe had our capacity audience in the palm of his hand before the end of the first number. Great songs, fab voice and a very engaging manner - a highlight of our festival.” -Costa Del Folk, Portugal
He has played on stage and in the studio with many legends of the British folk scene including members of Fairport Convention, Andy Irvine and toured as stand in lead vocalist in the BBC2 award winning “Best live Act” Home Service.
During the Covid pandemic, Joe was asked to enter ITV’s The Voice and, seeing it as fun challenge to do while the rest of the music industry was shut down, decided to give it a go. Joe reached the semifinals and his audition alone has reached nearly 1 million views on YouTube!.
Support this time comes from CALDER
In his own words “43 year old father who thinks he’s going to be a rock star. It sounds like David Gray and Kelly Jones got drunk in Bon Ivers’ studio and made an album about boyhood dreams”. A formidable Leicestershire based singer songwriter with a host of cracking songs and real life stories.
