I am a professional bass guitarist/backing singer who has been playing and gigging up and down the country for approximately 10 years. My last band performed professionally 3-4 nights a week at various public and private events, weddings and coporate functions, playing rock covers.                                                                     I have been fortunate enough to perform alongside Jack Bruce's (Cream) son, Pete Wallace (Eric Clapton, Ian Drury, Billy Fury), Monitor Music (www.monitormusic.com), Dewson Entertainments and top function bands 'The Talent’ (www.thetalent.info) 'The Top Hat Band' (www.hatband.co.uk), ‘Fez Collective’ and ‘Charm’.

I achieved a BA Honours Degree in contemporary music, a National Diploma in music and am comfortable playing all popular music styles. I am a reliable, talented and very professional musician with an extensive song repertoire, playing and reading at degree level. I am a quick learner and extremely professional in my preparation of songs for performances. Also adaptable to fit in with other musicians, I am experienced in performing without rehearsals and ‘depping’. Travelling is not an issue as I have my own transport. 

"Great. Thanks Joe. It's worth mentioning that your extra work with regards to the van driving etc is noted and appreciated. You've probably heard from the other guys that it usually takes a lot longer for people to get to be 'regulars' on our team than it's taken you and it's all down to a combination of your fine playing and excellent professional attitude" (Ed Dewson, Dewson Entertainments).

"Just a quick mail to say thanks for last night – you dug us out of a hole and more than made a good account of yourself. If you ever need a reference for any work in the future I’ll be more than happy to give you some good words, plus I’m keeping hold of your email address just in case we find ourselves in a similar situation!" (Stuart, Curious Penguin)
