I’m taking a break from music - You may have noticed I’ve been quiet recently. I haven’t been working on new material quietly behind the scenes. I have been focusing my energies elsewhere. We live in dangerous times, with far right politicians threatening everything we hold dear. I do not want hundreds of thousands of friends and neighbours under threat of deportation, just because Farage wants to protect tax dodging billionaires. I want there to be a genuinely hopeful alternative and unless good people stand up, this won’t happen, so I am standing for election for the Green Party in Birmingham. I will always love music and, if elected, I will champion the live music scene in our city and do everything I can to ensure there is a thriving cultural scene. I have realised that I can’t do everything. I still have loads of unreleased material, which might see the light of day some time in the future, but I can’t do that now. Big respect to everyone who brings joy through music in whatever way and thanks to everyone who has listened to my music or supported me in whatever way as I tried to find a niche for myself and share my songs. Peace and love Joe
A little announcement from me. This may or may not come as a surprise, seeing as how I'd virtually disappeared from here anyway. I may be back one day...
