’Damien Ricey’

[englishrose]

Has anyone listened to the tracks much on www.joeallen.cjb.net (http://www.joeallen.cjb.net) , he posted all the details on here a few weeks back ?


Just saw a posting about him on the official damo site and have gone back for another listen, i think he has an beautiful voice smileys/smiley1.gif, I want to try and get to one of his live gigs, whats everyone else think?

[Juzzza]

Yea, I liked his stuff a lot, get him in a studio with a full band and he will go places.


Liked his Website a lot too, love the illustrations, very Damien Ricey as you say.

[englishrose]

Yeah I can imagine, its one of those catch 22 things though, what I like is the simplicity ( well I think thats what I like ! ) of just him and a guitar, not sure if I want to hear him with the full works, but you probably right and it would be fantastic.


i think from his site that on some gigs there is a band with him, on the pics there is a girl singer and a I think it was a gutarist.


he needs to play some other places, all his gigs are in his area, but may be its hard to get gigs where people don't know you

[Juzzza]

You can keep the simplicity with a band, look at Damo... nothing compares to his live performances, but on the album it's about light and shade.


He's quite young isn't he? Joe I mean.

[englishrose]

Yeah he's only 18 and cute as well smileys/smiley2.gif


point taken - someone out there with a band get on to joe !
