For those unaware, In Concert (Secret records) captures Joe Brown at his finest, presenting a complete live performance recorded at The Watersmeet Theatre, Rickmansworth in May 2002. This long‑requested audio edition finally brings the full concert experience to fans in an accessible 2CD Digipak format.

Across 30 tracks, the set is split into two distinct performances: an intimate acoustic set followed by a high‑energy electric set, showcasing the full breadth of Joe Brown’s celebrated career.

Disc 1: Acoustic Set highlights stripped‑back, roots‑driven performances including Amazing Grace, Man of Constant Sorrow, Memories Are Made of This and The Rock Island Line, reflecting Brown’s deep connection to traditional folk and blues.

Disc 2: Electric Set delivers crowd‑pleasing classics and rock ’n’ roll favorites such as Somethin’ Else, Bird Dog, Lonely Weekends, Sea of Heartbreak and A Picture of You, capturing the energy and warmth of Joe Brown’s live electric shows.

The concert - of which The Watersmeet Theatre in Rickmansworth is a place that I have personally been to many a time, given I used to live in that town - features Joe Brown backed by a seasoned band including Neil R. Gauntlett, Dave Nilo and Phil Capaldi, with production, recording and mixing handled by Pete Brown, ensuring high‑quality live sound throughout.

One of the first UK session men, his early career highlights include playing guitar with Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Johnny Cash and other US stars when they came over to Europe.

Joe went on to top the charts with his own records, had The Beatles open shows for him and in a career packed with musical highlights has also presented several National series of the Joe Brown Show on UK TV, two series Rock Show for BBC Radio 2 and finds time to do around 100 live shows a year in the UK. In 2002 he appeared at the Concert For George to honor the life and memory of his dear friend George Harrison.

As his contemporary path is extended Joe’s career has reached further heights. In the last few years, he has regularly sold out almost every venue he plays some two or three nights running. In 2008 he returned to the UK Top 20 with an album which was certified as Gold in March 2008 and has now sold in excess of 120,000 copies in the UK.

His 50th Anniversary Concert at The Royal Albert Hall, London was a sell-out and in 2009 he was awarded the coveted MOJO Music Magazine award for Lifetime achievement and awarded an MBE in the Queen’s birthday honors list and USA Ukulele manufacturer KALA now has a Joe Brown Signature Series of Ukuleles designed in conjunction with Joe.
