Joe Brown has worked as a rock and roll singer and guitarist for more than five decades. He was a stage and television performer in the late 1950s and a UK recording star in the early 1960s. He has made six films, presented specialist radio series for BBC Radio 2, appeared on the West End stage alongside Dame Anna Neagle and has written an autobiography. In recent years he has again concentrated on recording and performing music, playing two tours of around 100 shows every year and releasing an album almost every year.
Described by the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums, as a "chirpy Cockney", Brown was one of the original artists managed by the early rock impresario Larry Parnes. He is highly regarded in the music business as a "musician's musician" who "commands respect and admiration from a wide spectrum of artists".
Joe Brown and his team of talented performers gave us a great night out at the Town Hall in Birmingham.
My husband first saw Joe at the Hippodrome in 1960 and was looking forward to this event. We were not disappointed.
The music was great, a mixture of old favourites and brilliant covers. We particularly enjoyed the ukelele music and have had the album for some time.
Joe had a great rapport with the audience and with his team which made the event even more enjoyable.

Loved the show. Joe is a natural charmer and a great musician as were all the band. An eclectic mixture of old songs, rock and classical. With the Ace of Spades being my favourite. Thanks Joe
