Topic: Joe's guest in Manchester 21/9

Our daughter, Eilidh McKellar, guested again with Joe and the guys at the MEN Arena, Manchester, last Saturday 21st September.  Unfortunately we couldn't make it down for the gig and so missed her performance.  Does anyone have any video footage or photos of Eilidh on stage with Joe that night? If you do, we'd love to see it. Joe is a brilliant guy and a great mentor to Eilidh.

That is so cool - I remember watching a couple of Eilidh's videos years ago even before Joe has her up as a guest.  She has a great touch on the guitar.  That indefinable 'x-factor'. cool

Hope she has lots of success in the music industry.  Joe's mentorship will certainly be of immense value.  We could have another Anna Popovic or Joanne Shaw Taylor here... wink

From looking at the video, it looks like she did a real fine job! You must be so proud of her! So wonderful of Joe to take her under his wing. Looking forward to seeing how her career progresses.

Killearnkid, this is simply marvelous!  How out of your mind must you be for this amazing opportunity for your daughter!  She is so good! 

Please tell us how she and Joe got to meet, what was the circumstance?  Did she win some kind of contest?  Would love to know.

Congratulations to you and of course to her!

Sally, I believe Joe's dad actually came across the videos that Eilidh posted on Youtube (which I mentioned in my previous post).  She did a take on one of Joe's songs, and I believe Joe's dad told Joe something along the lines of "She plays your song better than you do"... and that kicked off the whole thing! smile

Devan is correct. Joe explains this in one of the videos on Eilidh's youtube account. I can't post a link as the tool deems it to be a spam attempt. Thanks Sally.

Re: Joe's guest in Manchester 21/9

I remember seeing Eilidh's version of blues deluxe all those years ago and enjoying it. It's great to see her get on stage with Joe!  Although you can also now label me as jealous haha big_smile

Kind Regards,
Matt

Re: Joe's guest in Manchester 21/9

She seemed to have a great time,tho i didn't hear much of her solo playing,more chops with joe,rhythm stuff-no disrespect, cos to be invited onstage with joe,you gotta be good! You must be so proud,as you should be,from where i was sat sitting,the sound wasn't top-notch.Get her on tour with Joanne or Sandi,her own space, and she'll FLY!!

Come on you Blades!
