Topic: Hello to All Joe B fans from Twickenham (uk)

I have  seen  Joe B  three  times : first  in a  small  hall  in Sutton  ,then twice  in  Shepherds Bush empire. I nagged  many  friends  to see  his recent  gig  and bless  him and  his  crew ,they gave a fine show. My Logon  is for Rory Gallagher and  I was told   to  watch  out for  joe  several  years  ago by  some fellow RG fans  at a tribute  night .

I saw  Rory  three   times  and  he  was even better  than they say  : joe  has  got  the same feel   and warmth  in  his playing   and  his attitude : I also feel that BDS  AND Eric Sardinas  have the same qualities :shame  that they are not gigging  in the UK at present .

Anyway  there  are  two Rory Tunes  that I would  enjoy  Joe B  having a crack  at :-

   1) A Million miles  away   

    2) Sinnerboy   but the live version ( as Taste ) at the Isle  of Wight  ( its  on Youtube ) where   he  uses a mix  of Irish Traditional  scaling  with a bottle on a Telecaster .

Best  to you all

Welcome to the forum RoryG. I was lucky enough to see Rory in a club in Rhyl, North Wales about a year or two before he died. He was brilliant and seemed like a really nice guy. Not at all starry but what a star!

Nice of you to join us

Re: Hello to All Joe B fans from Twickenham (uk)

Welcome RoryG. Great to have you on board. As an obvious long-time fan of the great man, have you ever seen the tribute band "Sinnerboy" and if so what did you think of them? I'm probably going to watch them in a couple of months, and I would appreciate your opinion....

Cheers and welcome again,

Paul

Welcome aboard RoryG. You have joined a happy family here so visit and post regularly. Not taking my chance to see him live at the Apollo in Glasgow a number of years ago is one of my biggest regrets.

I know that Joe could play one of those kid's guitars with the plastic strings and make it sound good-
