Topic: Hello!

I don't normally do these introductory thingies, but I was urged to do so... so here goes!

I live in the UK at the moment but will probably be disappearing back off to Australia later this year. I think the first time I heard Joe was on a free Classic Rock CD. Then I think my dad unwittingly bought the "You and Me" album not knowing it was going to be properly bluesy, but I was into that anyway so he was like "Oh I don't really like this..." and so I ended up with it!

Since then I've collected the rest of Joe's albums and seen one of his live shows.

I'd quite like to go to the Hammersmith gig, we'll see!!

Also a guitar player so...

Re: Hello!

Greetings newbie,
After the coldest UK winter I can remember for many years, the prospect of moving to Australia sounds pretty good to me - especially now it's in Joe's touring plans.

If you're thinking of the hammersmith gig you might want to move fast - not sure if there are many tickets left.
"Joe's Guitars, amps, and gear" section is great if you're a player - but beware - some of the suggestions on there can end up costing you loads lol . Lots of the regular posters on there baffle me with all their talk of blending multiple amps together "JB style" - I have enough difficulty understanding one, but if you're into all that stuff you'll love it.

Please be in no doubt that this is the REAL ME! Beware imposters........................

Hello Luke and welcome!
I got my Hammersmith ticket from Stargreen after a tip here on the forum! You could try there, normal prices also.
Only circle seats available (£39.60)  so you would have to move quickly.
Here's the link  http://www.stargreen.com/2009/events?id=25235
Good luck cool

Beware though, if you are way up back in the circle the view is pretty crap. Take binoculars!

Re: Hello!

I've just checked Ticketmaster.co.uk and they still have standing tickets at £33.75
