We are delighted to post this latest update on Joe as he prepares for the Valentine’s Evening Concert at Viva Blackpool on Sunday 14th February and the following week’s shows at Wednesbury Town Hall and Woodman Corner.

The VIVA show is Joe’s very first since last summer when he had to step back from performing to undergo extensive radiotherapy and chemotherapy and then recuperate during the latter part of last year.

The great news is that Joe’s been working hard, singing and rehearsing at home with MD Stephen ‘Stretch’ Price and working away on his new album. He’s counting down the days now until he returns to his beloved stage with Stretch and the band in just 12 days and he’s really looking forward to seeing everyone again. Joe’s been getting out and about with swimming and regular exercise each day and it’s paying off as he feels better as each week passes and now feels it’s time to get the show back on the road.

Following Valentine’s Day Joe will be heading down to the West Midlands for two shows, firstly on 18 February 2016 at Wednesbury Town Hall and then following day 19 February 2016 at The Woodman Corner.

There is also the opportunity to attend Joe’s next Afternoon Meet and Greet to be held on Saturday 13 February 2016 at The St Anne’s Tea Rooms on St Annes Pier just down the road from Blackpool Town Centre. St Annes is a short drive from Blackpool and is easily reached by public transport.
