The Runaway hit of Glastonbury Festival 2002 and The Dark Horse of the George Harrison Albert Hall Memorial show ( as one U.S. reviewer called him ) , Joe’s career goes from strength to strength. He recently completed a Box Office record breaking tour in the UK with his old friend Marty Wilde from February to June 2004 and there is already strong demand to repeat the tour in Autumn 2005. Joe's career has now encompassed all aspects of entertainment, including recording, performance, songwriting, Films \ T.V. and West End theatre both as a principal actor and Director. He has presented several television series, three series of The Joe Brown Show and has established himself as a popular D.J. and presenter with BBC Radio 2. From the day when Jack Good first spotted Joe Brown playing guitar and put him in the Boy Meets Girls show in 1959 probably no-one else ever thought that in 2004 Joe would still be a household name, but the fact is that from those early days of chart success Joe has consolidated and is now one of the major talents on the U.K. scene. A multi-instrumentalist, Joe plays Guitar, Mandolin, Fiddle, Ukulele and Melodian onstage. His earliest moves were made with the bands such as the Spacemen Skiffle Group, who played East End pubs and Butlins camps and whose exploits are well documented in his first book " Brown Sauce ". Joe’s early professional musical career included playing guitar with Johnny Cash, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and appearing with Bill Haley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard & Chuck Berry, whilst Brian Epstein who promoted some of Joe's shows in the North West of England in the early days gave the opening slot a few times to a young band which he was then interested in working with called The Beatles. Joe formed his own group Joe Brown & The Bruvvers in 1960 and had numerous top ten chart entries, the best known of which Picture Of You reaching the magical Number One slot and staying months on the chart. In the early seventies he formed the acclaimed "Browns Home Brew" which included his late wife Vicki and Joe Fagin, their music was a mixture of Country Rock and Gospel. The band toured the college and rock Club circuit and had two albums released by Vertigo records. Joe lists as the highlight of his career performing at the Albert Hall as part of the Concert For George in November 2002. This very special concert organized by Olivia Harrison and Eric Clapton featured a wealth of talented performers and close friends of George performing his songs and it was a particular honour for Joe to have been asked by Olivia to perform ‘ I’ll See You In My Dreams ’ ( a favourite of George’s and in fact a song which he reintroduced Joe to ) as the closing song to that incredible evening. Joe toured again throughout 2003 and presented a radio show ‘ Joe Brown’s Sunday Roast ’ for BBC Radio Berkshire and 2004 is already away to a flying start following the Together tour with Marty Wilde and the release of a much requested instrumentals album ‘Jiggery Pokery’ and his DVD ‘ An Audience With Joe Brown ’. Joe turned up to honour one of his mentors Lonnie Donnegan at a memorial concert at the Albert Hall in June. Joe played two songs with his band and two songs with Mark Knopfler at the event.
