I saw him about twenty (gawd) years ago supporting The Jam at Hammersmith Odeon, and yes he is very funny/observant and well worth seeing.And have caught him at a good few festivals since.

He has organised so many benefit gigs over the last couple of decades...miners, Wapping, anti racism etc etc etc. A tireless hard worker of good causes.And a staunch anti-Thatcherite to boot.

Like Mooman I won't be in the Uk when he is in Hull, but hope all goes well.

Not hijacking the thread or anything but, he is organising a charity gig in Brighton in November, for the Strummerville Charity, set up by Joe's family, all proceeds to help underpriviledged kids gain access to musical pursuits.
