Gig Review: Joe Jury - A little bit of unplugged

Now I am open minded when it comes to music.  I know what I like and I know what I hate.  Now I have never been one to rush out and listen to acoustic/folk music, but I do admit to liking some unplugged sessions.  So I went along to see Joe Jury on Sunday night with mixed feelings.  He was playing at the Slaughtered Lamb in London and  I have to say I was impressed.


Joe is young, but his lyrics are mature and full of knowing.  His voice is powerful.  He is definitely one to look out for if you like laid back acoustic music.  This is a video of his own song "Streets of Campden" - this is not to be confused with Camden Town, London - 'tis Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire!  A romantic song about a love found and lost.


Like all young artists Joe does a number of covers including Ed Sheehan and Paulo Nutini, but I particularly like this version of Adele's "Make you feel my love".

Anyway, Joe is definitely one to watch.  Check out Joe's YouTube channel Joe Jury Youtube Channel for more of his work.
