Ah thanks for this Michelle! Such memories of that magnificent voice echoing around the packed 02 singing my favourite Christmas songs with the fabulous orchestra. Do you remember that lady and her children we were talking to in the interval. She'd never heard Joe sing live before and was completely overwhelmed. She was going to get his albums and book for his next solo show.

what an amazing show Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs is at The Alhambra theatre.....

incredible production, amazing costumes, amazing special effects!!! is this disneyland? They sure brought the kid out of me!!!!!
I must go back before it ends on the 24th of january!!!!

Joe oozes confidence! And what a voice!!!! waow! he sure is a show stopper!!
And the rest of the cast is also so talented!

if you can go to Bradford this Christmas, or in the new year.... go go go!!!!

Will anyone be tuning into The Jump this year - JB from JLS is in it

Lovely afternoon @GreatOrmondSt Christmas Party 🍭🍬🎨 Great seeing @ThisisDavina see you in Jan for The Jump 🎿!!

I live in South Yorkshire so Bradford isn't that far from me

Although I am not a huge fan of Panto, Joe's role as Man in the Mirror has been fantastically received by the critics.

Whilst I may agree that Panto may not be the best vehicle for his talents, Joe said last year it was like going in to work and just laughing all day - the best kind of job I'd imagine it is quite lucrative too, which is always a bonus. However, these quotes certainly give lie to the oft repeated cliche on the MF that Joe has no personality

Happy New Year everyone

Looking forward to Joe's new tour #Evolution

Details of dates so far announced on his Official Website here :

http://joemcelderryofficial.com/tour-dates/

I may go, he is performing near me

His 2014 tour was fabulous, whether they were concerts with his full band or his acoustic shows, so can't wait to see the new Evolution shows. He's a great live performer!

Hi Tombo - would definitely recommend it if you can get to a show on his Evolution Tour - he not only has a great voice but a wonderful sense of humour and his shows are always great fun


Happy New Year everyone!

Excited to see Queen & Adam Lambert on 20th and Joe & Billy in their last weekend of panto at the Alhambra on 24th/25th! Brilliant start to the year!

i've got a busy January:
Edward Scissorhands on Friday, Joe in panto this weekend, Queen and Adam Lambert next week and then Joe again in panto the following weekend (I'll see you there! )

Joe has announced that he will be reprising the role of Tommy in the rock opera of the same name during September this year. It might be the start of a UK tour. It will take place at the Opera House in Blackpool and tickets are available now.

Thanks Patti-Ann his acting skills came on a treat during the course of the panto run & he has great comedic timing as well as a stunning voice.
Totally enjoyed the shows I saw & Joe got choked up bless him at the end of the final show. He seemed to have formed a close bond with the rest of the cast & they clearly adored him. Billy's words about Joe were so lovely too - said something along the lines of having done panto for the past 16 years, this had been his best yet, all thanks to Joe

So thrilled for him & excited that he's landed this role He was brilliant in the 1-night-only show in the West End a couple of years ago so I can't wait to see how he'll be now he's matured & had a bit more acting experience. Plus it's a beautiful 3000-seater theatre by all accounts & this 2-week run will be during the busiest illuminations time

& it's in Lancashire LancashireLass!

It certainly is! I was just coming on here to post the link and you beat me to it bud. So I'll post another lol!

http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/wh...zard-1-7092942

This is wonderful news !! Huge theatre, one of the biggest stages in Europe I believe. I may be going once or..er..twice lol!! Plus not only is it going to be on during the Illuminations but also the World Firework Championships!!

So happy for Joe. He was absolutely amazing on the one off show in London in 2012 and I am glad that they asked him back for the lead role! It might be good timing that his big tour is this year if Tommy goes ahead and tours the UK later in the year or next year. Hopefully Joe will tour with it (if that's what he wishes of course).

I think I might be going once or twice too ...

My sister and I have booked a four day holiday to Blackpool and I have booked tickets for Tommy for 22 September!

Yes I saw it too sandy and I remember being totally engrossed in the show and his performance. My word, he's really going to surprise people!. And we have his massive Evolution tour starting in two weeks to look forward to first as well!

That's brilliant Gill. I think there might be others doing that lol! Lots of Joe's international fans booking tickets as well! Fantastic!

Joe has tweeted a link to a live session made a few months ago. I love this! swoon

That's brilliant Gill, so glad you're able to get to see it

Can't wait to see if there are any lovely posters of that shot in the merchandise this year!!


This interview is lovely. It's nice when people can appreciate their family and the influence they had on who they are and what they do

Just re posting this as first link with loads of views not working now for some reason.

Wondering what kind of shape we'll be in after watching Tommy in Blackpool the night before the Great North Run, fellow GNR runner well, it's only 154 miles away


Thanks for re-posting LL2 - absolutely love that acoustic version
