We’re thrilled to welcome Joe Yorke to the Fox & Firkin on Thursday the 7th of November.Hailing from the North-West of England, singer and composer Joe Yorke found his true love for music during his teenage years. Seduced by Punk, Folk and Reggae music, he started diving into the styles and after learning guitar he was a common sight on the streets of Wigan and Manchester busking his favourite songs. In 2006, he went to the Notting Hill Carnival and experienced the UK’s soundsystem scene for the first time. Shaken and moved by the sounds in the streets of the famous north London festival, his desire to become a part of the movement was galvanised.
Fusing live music on the one hand and soundsystem on the other, Joe Yorke embraces the full spectrum of the Reggae scene, without ever being limited by its codes. His musical foundation comes from Jamaican Rocksteady and Dub but he also takes a strong influence in Soul, Folk, Dub Techno and Experimental music. Today Joe is based in Bristol and manages his own label, Rhythm Steady, on which he’s released some of his own productions on 7” vinyl. He continues to live the Reggae life making good use of his exceptional tone of voice, laying vocal gems for artists such as The Co-Operators and more recently Stand High Patrol, with whom he has collaborated on several singles. Classed as one of the most promising UK artists of his generation, he continues his musical progression to the beat of his own drum.
