Joe Longthorne MBE celebrated his 60th Birthday in customary style with one of the biggest concerts in his career at The London Palladium on Sunday 31st May 2015. Backed by a 26 piece orchestra, Joe performed in front of his industry friends and colleagues and his huge army of devoted fans from around the UK and abroad, all of them wanting to share this magical and glittering evening. The magnitude of his performance ever more highlighted due to Joe having to face up to further cancer treatment in the days after this event.
Joe approved the film prior to his passing on 3rd August 2019 and Jamie has made the decision to release it now as a fitting tribute to Joe and his 52 year career. All proceeds will go to his Memorial Fund, in lasting memory of one of the UK’s greatest ever performers.
