DICKENS’ FESTIVAL 2017 // 9-11 JUNE
This talented artist began his career over three decades ago with
appearances on Junior Showtime, followed by a grounding on the
tough northern club circuit. Joe's repertoire of voices is endless and
includes hundreds of the world's top singers, however, he is perhaps
best known for his impersonation of Shirley Bassey who has
commented: "Joe can do me better than I can do myself." During his
career, Joe has received gold and platinum discs for his albums, enjoyed
sell-out concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, and toured Australia several
times. Come and join Joe, along with his band, for a sensational night
of song and laughter; a night not to be missed.

Welcome to a
weekend of colourful
celebration,
enlightening
entertainment and
Dickensian
discovery, as one of
England's greatest
writers is honoured.
Charles Dickens lived
in Medway for almost
20 years, absorbing
the area's
architecture,
character and colour
and bringing it to
fictional life in some
of his best known
works. For over three
decades this festival has celebrated a proud association with Dickens
and this year presents a family festival packed with Dickensian delight
and Victorian intrigue.
