WALES’ PREMIER JAZZCLUB : LIVE JAZZ EVERY WEDNESDAY
Joe Francis with Dave Cottle Trio Drawing on the Great American Songbook, Connecticut born Joe Francis has a distinctive intonation and impeccable delivery. His rich and flexible baritone voice led him to tour extensively with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, performing throughout the US, Europe and Japan, sometimes playing in front of audiences of up to 40,000. In the late 1980’s Joe decided to leave the Glenn Miller Orchestra and concentrate on developing a solo career, immediately earning praise from such celebrities as Jack Jones, Larry Hagman (JR), and Miss Rosemary Clooney. “Joe is one of the guys” Frank Sinatra
