Forbidden Joe

Bio

"With their eclectic repertoire of traditional and original music, Forbidden Joe are coming to town to entertain you with their "wicked new folk sound".

Already being hailed by New Zealand’s folk scene as "the next big thing," Forbidden Joe’s dynamic arrangements and funky grooves, spiced with influences of Jazz, Celtic, European, and Soul make for a quirky show of songs and tunes.

The cheeky and effervescent Frances Dickinson heads the line up (hailed by Alice Murray of bFM as an "up and coming folk superstar") with smouldering vocals and fiery concertina. Alongside Frances, the versatile and soulful grooves of Emily Giles (Cello/Vocals) and the crankin riffs of Alex Borwick
(Banjo/Trombone/Vocals) complete this-one-of-kind musical menagerie."

Band Members:
Frances Dickinson (vocals, concertina, dunbeq, bodhran, fiddle)
Emily June Giles (cello, vocals)
Alex Borwick (banjo, trombone, vocals)

We're really looking forward to see some of you lovely people at the Wellington Folk Festival this weekend, hopefully it's not too wet! We've packed our gumboots just in case...

And thanks to those who were at the Mayfair last night, it was a lovely night Happy

After that, we're spending a couple of days hanging out in Wellington, doing some promo for the CD. And then, on the weekend....
