A Man and His Music – Joe Longthorne with his MD and two grand pianos. Joe’s new show is going down well with audiences around the Globe. Fantastic vocals and a great musician.
“A Man and His Music” is a brand new show from Joe, for the moment the musical accompaniment is in the form of his musical director Andy Mudd and specially mixed musical backing. Joe is certainly not using bulk standard backing tracks here, to quote his own words he has been back in the recording studio remixing his very own album tracks, custom mixed to his own requirements. The result is astounding and sounds just great out in the stalls. Audiences will notice the change, two pianos back to back on stage, Andy and his piano and monitors on the right, Joe’s piano on the left. My initial thoughts when I first saw the set up on stage in Hull last month at the David Whitfield charity show were that it reminded me of Elton John and Billy Joel, class and style, two pianos back to back, very different, a brave and inspiring decision on Joe’s part.
