The Spa Pavilion, Felixstowe announce that Joe Longthorne will be appearing at the venue on Thursday 2nd July 2009.

Joe's big break came in 1981 as a finalist on London Weekend Television's Search For A Star - this led to appearances at the London Palladium. Later, Joe received the Variety Club of Britain award as Most Promising Artiste of the Year. Television specials in the UK and USA followed.

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, as well as touring Australia several times.

In 1989 and at the pinnacle of his career Joe was diagnosed with Lymphoma. In a last ditch attempt to save his life in 2005, Joe underwent a bone marrow transplant that very nearly killed him. He edged his way back to recovery returning to the stage with a sell-out show at the London Palladium in 2006. Finally cured of his seventeen year illness he now had a new lease on life and in 2007 the Variety Club's Most Promising Artiste of '83 was awarded their most coveted of accolades; the Lifetime Achievement Award which placed him amongst a galaxy of past recipients like Sinatra, Garland and Fitzgerald.

Now, the time is right for Joe Longthorne. He has fought and won the battle against cancer and is looking forward to new challenges, new songs to sing and new audiences to thrill. As entertainment comes full circle he has earnt a very special place in live performance where he reigns supreme.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see Joe Longthorne at his best live on stage.
