One of the original rock & roll stars to come out of the UK, Joe Brown returns to the Queen's Theatre, Barnstaple on Wednesday 10th October joined this time by a very special guest.
Joe Brown needs little introduction. One of the first UK session men, his early career highlights include playing guitar with Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Johnny Cash and other US stars when they came over to Europe. He's gone on to inspire nearly everyone from George Harrison to Jeff Beck to Mark Knopfler.
His latest CD "Down To Earth" shows his love of all things roots and rhythmic and continues his tradition of superb playing and great harmonising with his stalwart band the Bruvvers (augmented on this tour by Joe's record-producing son Pete).
For these dates Joe is joined by another British icon....the one and only Dave Edmunds. The man who 'knew the bride when she used to rock n, roll', whose swagger and guitar genius saw him signed to Led Zeppelin's Swansong label and whose hits lit up the charts world-wide. Dave kept the rock beacon burning brightly with songs such as 'Girls Talk', 'Queen Of Hearts' and 'I Hear You Knocking' and still found time to work with Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne and the Everly Brothers, to name but a few.
Joe Brown and Dave Edmunds - a remarkable combination, an inspirational pairing of singer /songwriter / guitar heroes and an evening that's got to be compulsory for anyone who calls themselves a music lover. -- www.northdevontheatres.org.uk
