A musical talent that has successfully traversed the years, Joe Brown has gone from strength to strength. His ‘Very Best Of’ album achieved Gold Record Status and was on the UK charts for eight weeks staying four weeks in the Top 20. In the same year his 50th anniversary was celebrated with a wonderful sell-out show at the Royal Albert Hall and his new Ukulele Album caused a similar stir branching out internationally and breaking new territory for Joe in the download market where he is now a Spotify Legend!

Joe has continued to break box office records and recently received MOJO magazine’s coveted Outstanding Contribution To Music Award as well as a much deserved MBE. 

In 2017 Joe Brown toured without a band just taking US Legend Henry Gross along. The two tours and Just Joe Double CD both broke new ground and were rapturously received by audiences, confirming that as a raconteur Joe is second to none and as a performer he is just as comfortable solo as with a band.

Joe has a new band for this tour, more eclectic and with a different line up to before, including among others Fiddle virtuoso Tom Leary, Ace Bass player Andy Crowdy and Joe’s 27 year stalwart band member, drummer, percussionist and singer Phil Capaldi.

During this wonderful evening, Joe will combine timeless classics, rockabilly, gospel, country, bluegrass, and rock ‘n’ roll, all interwoven with his effervescent delivery and humorous reminiscences.
