Rock & Roll legend Joe Brown chats with Bob Harris at

[@terryallen5328]

Joe Brown is a national treasure and should be made a Sir.

[@garybrockwell2031]

Yes mate, Agreed 👍🇬🇧💯

[@sandgrownun66]

Sadly, it will never happen. He doesn't tick the correct boxes.

[@appledoreman]

No, please!! That would spoil everything.

[@sandgrownun66]

@@appledoreman Why?

[@appledoreman]

@@sandgrownun66 Are you kidding? Do you really want him bracketed with all the other pompous, self-aggrandizing individuals who make up this club for the self-important?

[@holydiver73]

Joe Brown has always come across as the nicest, most humble and happiest person in music. I bet to meet him would be an absolute treat and lasting memory for any fan. Sadly, I haven’t had the pleasure, but would love to.

[@kevinsimpson8686]

Invite me if you ever get the chance mate and vice versa. Joe has always and forever been a huge hero of mine and I would love to shake his hand and hear his stories too. He has never lost that great guy from next door image. Long may he live. A true star in every sense of the world.

[@farmbrough]

By far the best guitarist I've seen play live. It's great to see him looking so good.

[@rocketpost1]

You've got to love Joe. He's such a genuine nice geezer. Back in the day I bought his Picture of You and I still love that song.

[@BLUEBELL258]

1962 and I loved Picture of you. Happy days.

[@Havoc5429]

Get these two together again. It's lovely to hear them reminisce about their early musical days ❤

[@learningpianoat61]

I've always liked Joe Brown... he's a lot like Tony Blackburn, they just have great personalities and exude happiness and joy.

[@ashleywood1628]

Joe is one of the key players of early British rock 'n' roll. When Johnny Kidd and The Pirates were supported by the Beatles just before Love Me Do was recorded, the Pirates asked Kidd what he thought of the not yet Fab 4. Kidd replied "They're good but they'll never be as big as Joe Brown". A bit earlier in the year the Fabs had sneaked a backstage photo posing with Joe's guitar. It's a massive shame that none of the "Boy Meets Girls" shows or it's follow up "Wham!!" were preserved on film / video. They'd fully demonstrate what Bob says in this clip, that Joe was the Jimmy Page of that era. He was one of the very first British "guitar heroes" and by all accounts a terrific bloke. He also gave Hank Marvin his echo box pre-Apache. What a dude.

[@bobswan6196]

The first 'pop' concert I ever went to, at Chelmsford Odeon in March 1964, was Joe Brown, supported by The Crystals, Manfred Mann, Johnny Kidd and the Pirates and Heinz.

[@flashtheoriginal]

Joe Brown is a great guitar player. Truly gifted If you are reading this, Joe....when are you coming back to Lowestoft? Warm welcome awaits

[@GOGOLH]

Joe was the first British guitar hero for me, and he was and still is a really great player.

[@MrDparker69]

love Joe Brown, seen him many times and always always puts on a great show. Such a legend. Thanks for sharing.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Yes me too - always an interesting mix of music, and some real versatility from him and his band. Always comes across as a really nice man.

[@nigelmitchell4855]

Because of Joe and that song "I'll see you in my dreams " I taught myself to play the ukulele for my wife.....thank you Joe, when people say" your a star ", you really are.... my wife and I have seen you so many times at Billingham Forum, your brilliant...

[@stevecook8941]

One word sums up Joe............LEGEND

[@misstrekfreak]

❤️Joe Brown. A legend!

[@johnmc6529]

I've been lucky enough to meet both Bob & Joe and they are the most lovely guys you could ever meet.

[@stormytempest6521]

George Harrison was Best Man at Joe's wedding! Joe is well respected in the Music World.

[@davebarber3827]

I saw joe brown live and was totally blown away the man is a legend yes he should be made a sir.🙏🤗👌

[@charliemcleod764]

more stories from Joe Brown please. Best wishes fae Scotland

[@stewartbalmer1515]

Bob Harris best radio DJ there ever was. His musical knowledge and his love of all different genres gives his listeners plenty of enlightenment.

[@kevinsimpson8686]

Great guy is Bob. Gimme Joe and Bob over Chas and Dave every day of the week!

[@chriswalford9228]

I'll add Alan fluff Freeman and John Peel

[@nigelstansfield1644]

[@danwall6662]

Love Joe Brown and his ukele playing, especially " I'll see you in my dreams" that he played for George Beatle.

[@andydixon2980]

Yes, that was beautiful.

[@petergalloway7978]

Have seen Joe on stage several times what a great musician and entertainer. Love his stories about what happened when on tour and his impression of Gene Vincent was amazing

[@derekstocker6661]

Thank you so much for this great glimpse of the fantastic Joe and also of Bob too. Two brilliant characters and such early popular music people.

[@mikecartlidge5355]

Have loved Joe and his music since I was a kid in the 1960's, always a pleasure to either watch or listen to, a great guy all round.

[@malcolmpurser686]

Alex....Thank you for sharing this, sat and watched with a tear in my eye.....

[@freespeechforever]

I had an 'exchange' with Joe at one of his concerts...too long to go into here but it sticks in my memory as one of the best moments I've ever had at a pop concert. Great artist, great man and comments below I agree with 100%.

[@squigmcguigan8965]

Still instantly recognisable. And Father to such a talented Daughter Sam.

[@Super241946]

He actually looks a bit like an aged Stan Laurel 😂😂😂😂

[@adoreslaurel]

Living in OZ I have only discovered Joe this year, When I fall off my perch, I would like to be reborn as Joe. He is truly amazing, what a career.

[@mhsewbiz]

I too, have only discovered Joe this year. Concert for George was on PBS last week, and I just fell in love with Joe! What an amazing talent!

[@wayneconn1079]

The man right there Joe . Pure legend .

[@julieatkin3188]

I loved his stories, he had me in stitches from Gene Vincent with the gun to being told he had to change his name to Elmer Twitch and the fidgets... priceless 😆 🤣

[@CockneyRebel1979]

I love that Johnny Cash story. Good old Johnny. He certainly saved the day.

[@dingopisscreek]

Just shows even a huge star like Johnny has some empathy for those further down the rung

[@CockneyRebel1979]

@@dingopisscreek It certainly does.

[@cuebj]

Kris Kristofferson has a similar story when he was starting out.

[@carolynellis387]

He still looks really good and a pleasure to listen to

[@alanoneill3065]

Very good...Joe could keep us amused for hours

[@nathanrobinson7741]

If it wasn’t for Joe Brown I would have never have known who George Formby was. And Joes and George’s music sings to my soul. And can’t wait to go to the George Formby convention. Thank you Joe for giving us the gift of music.

[@carolynday7768]

Born with a Smile om his Face..love him xx

[@pda49184]

Brilliant. If you want an entertaining 'rock'n'roll story Joe is your man. He was there, and sadly so was I, and remember the Ted Heath orchestra very well.

[@brendaflower7790]

I still don't know how they managed it but in the 60s Joe Brown came to our little club in The Village in Charlton. Always loved him and all the other pioneers of rock n roll.

[@phil-zz5hk]

i remember going to watch joe , vicky and the brothers in birkenhead back in the late 70s . great night . vicky was a lovely singer and person . a great loss .

[@dingopisscreek]

When the beatles supported Joe in their early days, legend goes that while he was out of the way George picked up his (Joe's) guitar, Joe saw him and wasn't best pleased. Of course they became great friends and it was fitting that Joe closed the concert for George. Nice man is Joe. Never heard him say anything bad about anyone, or vice versa

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

It sounds funny, but an instrument - especially a guitar - is a very personal thing. You set a guitar up to be exactly right for yourself, and they're sensitive so you're afraid that someone else handling it might change something you've taken a lot of care to get "just so". One thing I learned early in my musical career was not to touch someone else's guitar without their permission, so I can understand Joe not being pleased.

[@johnfennell5864]

Joe brown, a true legend

[@annirvin6555]

Wow!!!❤ love Joe Brown. One of my all time favourites, is Joe playing “All Things Bright a And Beautiful “.

Thank you Alex, like many others who loved rock'n'roll Joe is a link to our musical past 6.5 special, oh, boy and other shows, I thought Gene Vincent was the coolest thing ever and Joe has known all the great ones , played on their record's, and still a decent chap who just loves his music, thanks again😊

[@hazzachannel1]

joe, it was the highlight ending. george loved the uke, and even taught it to all sorts of visitors to his home. olivia knew what she was doing that night 20 yrs ago.

[@robinclarke9978]

Pure English wit and talent. Marvelous.

[@royferguson2297]

What a gentleman, i saw him backing Status Quo at Wembley Arena, i am a big George Harrison fan and i was praying he would sing at least one from Concert for George. To my delight he sang all three, made my night keep on rockin Joe.

[@MegaVector2011]

He was the guitarist on Billy Furys album, 'The Sound Of Fury' (1960), the closest recording Britain has ever had to authentic roots Rock & Roll. Genius guitar player.

[@paulowens8862]

Joe is an incredibly magical guy. Really friendly and modest

Saw Joe at the Empire in Liverpool and it is no secrete the scousers did not care too much for the southerners but Joe really was an exception he brought the house down, great guy and musician.

[@C.kelp1879]

He's not a southerner. He's from Lincolnshire.

[@merson812]

Bob and Joe……superb. Saw Joe many years on a high street somewhere in Essex. A hot and sunny Saturday afternoon. He looked so cold. Spiky blond hair and so very confident. Just two or three seconds have stayed with me for 50 years.

Bob Harris....

[@lnl3237]

This ignorant old American has to do a deep dive on Joe Brown. What I know about music can fit on the head of a pin! Clicked on this because of Bob Harris. That voice. I still periodically watch his interview from the early 70's with a twenty-something Linda Ronstadt, who was still a fledgling songbird trying to take flight. She was adorable and Mr. Harris was so respectful asking such insightful questions and listening so intently.

[@anthonywilliams3577]

British Legend, booked to see his final tour, a few years back, got cancelled, because of Covid!

If only some of today's mediocre talent at best pop stars were as humble & gentlemanly as Mr Joe Brown, the musical entertainment world would be a much nicer place.
