Description
Hey, my name’s Joe!
I’m an award-winning wedding singer and musician from Cambridgeshire. I have the best job ever – putting smiles on people’s faces with the art of music.
As long as I can remember, I’ve always loved music. On rainy days or long car journeys, I’d get totally engrossed in cassette tapes or CDs of Michael Jackson, U2 or Nirvana. I started playing drums at age 8, this helped give me a keen sense of rhythm, and I later moved onto guitar at age 12 – this is where my passion for playing music really began.
I’m a (mostly) self-taught singer, taking inspiration from singers like Jeff Buckley, Thom Yorke, Bono, Bowie and Lianne La Havas.

• June 25, 2019We would so like to recommend Joe having booked him a week before my son's wedding. He was all set up for the bridal party return and we loved the selection of songs. He was quite simply a surprise find. Thank you Joe for making the wedding reception that little bit special. I loved that the groom and bride had the first dance at the end of the session.

• May 25, 2019Joe was amazing from start to finish ! He worked round us time wise, he was so easy to deal with before the event and during the event, his voice is amazing and everyone commented on how good he was. He even went so far as to learn our first dance at really short notice and made it so special for us I can’t thank him enough !!! ❤️❤️

• June 27, 2017Joe is a lovely chap, he is a very genuine person with a lovely laid back temperament. He was also happy to contend with my daughter and son also wishing to sing, he is very engaging with his audience, who also throughly enjoyed his performance. I have had to pass his details on to quite a number of friends. we are sure to engage him again. It was no trouble when I asked him to extend his set by another hour, at a reasonable small fee of course. Lovely chap. You would not regret engaging him for any event.
