“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.”
Forbidden Joe are:
Frances Dickinson (vocals, concertina, dunbeq, bodhran, fiddle)
Emily June Giles (cello, vocals)
Alex Borwick (banjo, trombone, vocals)
