Joe set a magic mood at our wedding in April. He rolled with the punches when we had to change the day’s timeline and our guests raved about his beautiful voice, musicianship and varied repertoire. We highly recommend Joe - talented, soulful, a great sense of humour, plus buckets of Irish charm to boot
