Joe Brown

 Another early hero and after his work on the Concert For George (Harrison) a place in our hearts always for 

JOE BROWN

Joe Brown was born in Swarby, Lincolnshire. His family moved to London when he was two and ran the Sultan public house in Grange Road, Plaistow, then in Essex, now part of the London Borough of Newham. In 1956, Joe Brown formed a skiffle group, The Spacemen, which lasted until the skiffle movement faded towards the end of the 1950s. He worked for British Railways at their Plaistow Locomotive works for two years in the late 1950s, becoming a steam locomotive fireman. He left the job because "the smell of the diesels drove me out when they took over from steam".

In 1958, Joe Brown was spotted by television producer Jack Good who hired him as lead guitarist in the orchestra of his new TV series, Boy Meets Girls. During this period, he backed a number of US musicians such as Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran on their UK tours

JOE BROWN

I always loved Joe Brown, old school rocker and skiffle and r 'n' b monster and he is still going strong. He has worked as a rock and roll singer and guitarist for more than six decades. He was a stage and television performer in the late 1950s and has been a UK recording star since the early 1960s, withe The Bruvvers he personified the cheeky chappie Cockney geezer rock but has become something of an elder statesmen of British music and is highly regarded and loved by all. Check out the song list on the DVD 'Live in Liverpool' it reads like the UK rock standards songbook
