LEADING rock ’n’ roll legend Joe Brown comes to Lighthouse in Poole on Thursday, continuing to go from strength to strength as his contemporary achievements continue to gather momentum.
His Very Best Of album achieved a gold record for a massive 100,000 sales and was in the UK charts for eight weeks, staying four weeks in the Top 20.
His 50th anniversary was celebrated with a wonderful sell-out show at the Royal Albert Hall.
He has continued to break box office records and recently received MOJO magazine’s coveted Outstanding Contribution To Music Award, as well as a much deserved MBE.
Lighthouse spokesman Paul Tucker said: “You may have seen Joe performing on Later With Jools Holland or at the cinema playing his part closing the show at the Concert For George Harrison.
“You may have witnessed his critically acclaimed set at Glastonbury Festival or caught him on tour.
“If you have you’ll already know just what a terrific live talent he is.
“Joe, with his five piece band including his son and record producer Pete Brown, will be on stage all evening and the musical styles incorporated into his show are as unique as the man himself.
“Packed with timeless classics, rockabilly, gospel, country, folk, and rock ’n’ roll, all interwoven with Joe’s effervescent delivery and humorous reminiscences, this eclectic, sensational show is a musical journey not to be missed.”
The concert on March 15 starts at 7.30pm and ticket prices vary.
