Welcome Doug, stardom by osmosis it's called I guess. A long and slow process but the guy is getting what he deserves - adulation from music lovers far and wide!

Hi everybody...this is my first post here and I will be seeing Joe for the first time on Monday at the RAH. I am a huge Eric Johnson fan and that's how I heard about JB...I met Libby at an EJ show at the Coach House, in California and she told me what an avid JB fan she is. I've been waiting for the chance to see for myself ever since. Not long now!

OMG !!!! I was just looking on itunes at Joe's songs and I see that he did a cover of an early Jethro Tull song on one of his live albums! That is SO COOL !!!!! A New Day Yesterday! I LOVE Jethro Tull (at least until the 80s) and Ian Anderson is one of my idols.

Thanks BIH ! I'm afraid I won't be in the UK in December but I live in San Diego so maybe I can catch him again around there somewhere. I'll post after the show on Monday (along with many others I'm sure) to say how it went.

Re: Hi from bonny Scotland

Eleanor...I can only second what BIH said...Joe is amazing live..you will get goosebumps from start to end,,the RAH will be absolutely amazing. I went to my first show in Glasgow, I had only heard the one song on Jools Holland...hooked..instantly looked for a gig and found one..less than a week later I have five albums, a t-shirt and some damn good memories...oh yeah..made some new friends too..happy days!!!
