Topic: Hi I'm Matt

Grettings all, Ive been reading the forums for a while now and thought it high time i registered and got posting. As im sure you can guess this is an introduction about me and how i became a fan of Joe.

I am 16 years old and from Ireland and i first heard about Joe when i saw a clip of his Rockpalast dvd that came with an issue of Guitarist magazine one month. It must have been during the summer of '06.

I have been a Blues and Rock fan for a while and i was completely blown away by thatr clip of Takin the Hit at Rockpalast so i went out and bought all the albums of his i could find and they are all pretty damn amazing albums.

On March 29th i flew over to London and i was at Joe's gig at the Shepards Bush Empire (luckily i queued about an hour before the doors opened and was able to get right at the front big_smile). It was and absolutely fantastic gig and  I also had the pleasure of meeting Joe about 5 hours before the gig. He signed my ticket and i got a photograph taken with him. He is a really dead on guy and it was cool that he took the time to have a chat. Cheers again Joe smile

I also booked tickets to see Joe on the 2nd and 3rd of August in the south coast of England, can't wait big_smile and apologies my introduction is a bit long sad

Rock on Joe!

Hey Matt,
I'm not positive, but I think you may be our first member from Ireland. Great story and welcome aboard!

Re: Hi I'm Matt

Hi Matt


Welcome aboard.

Great to see some more younger people into Joe and posting.

I love Ireland - been there for my main holiday past 4 years ( Counties Claire, Kerry, Wexford and Kerry again). Beautiful country with really friendly people.
I don't seem to fall on the great music pubs that I read about though sad
Must be really unlucky there !!
Maybe next time.

Re: Hi I'm Matt

Im actually form Northern Ireland but i have been to the south quite a bit myself and i definately agree, very friendly people smile

Re: Hi I'm Matt

Hey Mat, welcome aboard! Hope I didn't embarrass you too much by shouting and screaming and generally doing my nut at Joe's show on the 29th. I was dead centre on the front row and I think you were next to me, with Michael just to my left. Wasn't that show just awesome?
