Joe StilgoeYoung and highly original, Joe Stilgoe is "the new face of Britain's music's answer to the new face of music's jazz" (Jonathan Grafton). Joe has been writing songs ever since he was allowed to use pens. He now writes at a prolific rate, with recent additions to his catalogue being the catchy Nothing Could Be Finer and the morose Is There Any Room For Me?. Joe writes with a humour that is obvious in I Really Shouldn't Be Allowed To Speak, and more subtle in the beautiful Falling On Love. In live performance, Joe mixes in innovative arrangements of great standards like Surrey With A Fringe On Top, I Wish I Were In Love Again and more obscure nuggets like Shine On Your Shoes and Love Potion No. 9. His style, although unique, is reminiscent of the great pianist/singers like Buddy Greco, Mel Torme, Nat King Cole and Harry Connick Jr. As a young jazz pianist/singer, the 26-year old Joe is inevitably compared to Jamie Cullum, but says, "we're quite different really - he's sold a million records." He has played with many of the country's finest musicians, including Ian Shaw, Herbie Flowers, Jacqui Dankqworth, Winston Clifford, Andy Hamill, Gilad Atzmon, Alan Ganley and Mark Nightingale.
