Greenwich Theatre Gig: SOLD OUT!!!

Glasto Power

DELIGHTED to say my gig at Greenwich Theatre in London on Sunday February 17th has now SOLD OUT!!

Incredible stuff.

I cannot thank everyone who has bought tickets enough for this. To travel all that way to a full house will be an absolutely amazing thing, and to sell out my first ever headline show in London has left me lost for words.

THANK YOU!!!

***GREENWICH THEATRE SHOW***

Joe Solo

On Sunday February 17th I’ll be playing my first ever headline show in London.

The venue is Greenwich Theatre.

It will be songs, stories, poems and, of course, ranting over two 45 minute sets so plenty of time to stretch my legs and play some of the stuff that rarely gets a live outing.

I’m REALLY looking forward to this and would massively appreciate your support.

If you can come along, please do. If you can share this blog, please do. If you can tell your family and friends, please do.

We’ve definitely sold enough tickets for a front row.

Would dearly love it if it wasn’t also the back row.

Tickets are £13 on this link:

So from today ALL Joe Solo gigs will be WE SHALL OVERCOME gigs.
 
Anywhere and everywhere I play I will gratefully accept donations of food, warm clothing for #SocksAppeal, sanitary towels for #EndPeriodPoverty solidarity campaign, and anything else you think might help.
 
These will be divided up among a growing network of grassroots organisations desperate for help on the front line, and this year I am looking to extend that network.
 
Every £10 Joe Solo CD will be sold on the cast iron promise that £5 of your money will be going straight to Pauline Town to help fund her fight against poverty and homelessness from her base at The Station Hotel, Ashton-under-Lyne. The price increase last year to accommodate this has been a massive success in terms of being able to keep those food parcels going and help people off the streets, and I want to thank everyone who bought my music for directly helping and saving lives. It matters.
 
I will continue to support grassroots networks up and down the UK in fighting austerity and it’s devastating effects on our communities; in combating racism and fascism; in standing in the way of homophobia and transphobia; and in trying to build a future for ALL. And it starts from today.
 
I am one bloke with one guitar.
 
In the grand scheme of things I mean absolutely nothing.
 
But I am not alone.
 
There are more every passing year.
 
In 2019 We Shall Overcome will pass a THOUSAND events with a combined total of half a million quid of food, cash, clothing, bedding, furniture, electrical goods, footwear, tents and sleeping bags raised for those at the sharp end; and none of that was possible until the first person rocked up with a tin of beans.
 
So don’t sit there asking who is going to come along and change this land for the better.
 
The answer is, it’s YOU.
 
SOLIDARITY
Joe
