He quickly gathered a following opening for the likes of Sinead O’Connor, Paddy Casey and Declan O’Rourke as well as performing with his childhood band “Kingzipper” in various venues across Ireland.
In his 20’s Joe went on to create the heavy rock band “Kill Man Ten” and released the album 'Come On In' before the band parted ways.
