Buskerteers - Join our team!
With no prior choir-leading (or real teaching, even) experience, I recently started working with BUSKERTEERS CHOIR. I was looking for a new challenge, and weirdly - it ended up finding me.
Out of the blue I was contacted by Andy Small, the founder, asking me if I’d be interested in giving it a go. Due to the aforementioned lack of experience, I was naturally hesitant. But I’m so glad I heard him out and gave it a try. I met with them, first on Zoom, then, later at their HQ just outside of Colchester. This was then followed by some awesome training and practice runs with some of my fellow leader’s choirs. They gave me all the support and knowledge I needed in order to open up 4 of my own choirs last month. I now LOVE it.
The reason for this post is because they are looking at expanding into even more new territories. I know that I’m friends with a LOT of musicians on here, so I thought the opportunity may be of interest to some of you, or to somebody you know perhaps. I
t’s an amazing team of people who I’m very proud to call my friends. The members are also all ace and, just like us, all music lovers who just want to sing their hearts out.
2024 Wrapped!
2024 was MASSIVE. I’m very thankful for all these amazing things that have happened this year. #HappyNewYear everyone 🥂✨
With or Without You (Live) ft. Buskerteers Choir
🥂🤩 Where do I start? 🎉🥲
If there was only ever one video of mine you watched from start to finish, please let it be this one. ✨
This was an unforgettable night. But it started off as a difficult day…. The M25 was NOT kind to me on the way down to London. I got stuck in 3 hours of standstill traffic, making what should have been a 2 hour journey 5 hours! I was so worried I wouldn’t make the gig and be able to have this special moment. Thankfully, the road eventually got cleared and I was back on my way!
I am so grateful for the love and support from my immensely talented new friends at BUSKERTEERS CHOIR — you’ve all welcomed me with open arms (literally! They’re all huggers!) Thank you for this opportunity. I will do my very best to make you proud.
Here’s an example of how they’ve had my back from day one… I selected this song as a tribute to my mum who I love very much. This is her favourite song by her favourite band, ‘With or Without You’ by U2. I was slightly nervous because I had just one opportunity to do it justice LIVE in this beautiful venue, in front of hundreds of choir members. I never expected that they would be by my side backing me up with these beautiful harmonies, and the choir joining in was just incredible - like something out of a film.
Anyway, please enjoy. Love to you all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🥳 X
Joe Bailey Wedding Singer - Everywhere
🎉 NEW VIDEO 🎉
‘I wanna be with you everywhere’
Who doesn’t love a bit of Fleetwood Mac? This one always goes down well, so I thought I’d share my rendition of it.
Special thanks to Black Barn Studio for capturing this clip for me! 💛
Joe Bailey & Myke the Sax Acoustic Duo
🎷🎸 NEW PROMO ☀️🍹
Introducing Myke the Sax! 🎷
But he’s not just a saxophonist… You see, most musicians are really great at 1 or 2 things. However, I’m convinced there’s nothing Myke Clifford cannot do. Watch in awe as he accompanies me here, effortlessly delivering fat sax solos, as well as masterful flute playing, silky backing vocals and funky fruit-shaped shakers 🍌
I’m very happy to be offering my guitar & sax duo package as shown here in this brand new video for 2025 onwards.
Get in touch and let’s talk about live music for your big event! 😎
Stars ✨ Live at C&W’s Wedding
A little clip of Tom Wright and I performing Christina & Wyne’s first dance song, ✨Stars✨ by Simply Red live at their wedding The Old Hall Ely
Their review:
‘Joe is just awesome! Not only did he come up with a great first dance version of Simply Red ‘Stars’ for us - not the easiest! - he was so responsive and friendly from the initial consultation right through the final week of our wedding. He is a great musician and together with Tom, they kept our guests entertained all night, even when there was a fuse cut and they jumped down from the stage, onto the dancefloor and carried on like true pros! Thank you so much again for helping make our day so special! 😃🤩’
And I absolutely love it! 🥰 #WeddingSinger #JoeBaileyWeddingSinger
