I've done a bit of YouTubing for the live stuff and am very impressed.
I always liked his voice anyway.
Going to give the albums a spin on spotify at the weekend.

Remember seeing Joe Dolan at the Garrick in Leigh @1971. He had a brass section and what seemed about 10 other people in the band. What a sound they made in a small venue. The small venues are still the best place to see anybody. And Little Richard @68 at the Domino on Grey Mare Lane, he was everything you expected. Electric.

Shed Seven at Castlefield Bowl last June.
It was a beautiful sunny day, sold out and everyone in good spirits (apart from the knobhead Twang fans fighting). It had the air of a 'full circle' moment for the band; much maligned from some quarters during their heyday in the 90s, to eventually splitting up at the turn of the century, to reforming a few years later down the line, to headlining their biggest show to date on the back of a first album release in 16 years.
You could tell Rick and the boys were loving the moment, he had 8,000 people eating out the palm of his hand. Whilst they never hit the heights of Oasis/Blur/Pulp et al they have, somewhat against the odds, outlasted many of their contemporaries.
Felt great to be a part of that day. And the hangover was off the scale the next morning.

Late 1990 saw the Levellers acoustic as no bass player in the Boardwalk. 3rd on the bill were a punky welsh 4 piece called the Manic Street Preachers.

There's no show like a Joe show.
A least that's what his fans say.
