About It’s Only Make Believe - A Remembrance And Tribute To Joe Longthorne

Listed Under Music Events / Nights Out Events

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Blantyre Miners Welfare Social Club in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday, 21st June 2025!

Many of my fans often compare my voice to the legendary Joe Longthorne, a compliment I hold dear, though it’s a challenge to fully embrace. While I don’t mimic his vocal impressions or sport his iconic blonde hair, Joe’s music has been deeply ingrained in me over the years.

In this special show titled *“It’s Only Make Believe,”* I’ll be paying tribute to Joe by performing songs that span his entire career – from his earliest performances to his final acts. Expect top-notch tracks delivered across two 45-minute sets.

Enjoy classics like “Somewhere,” “If I Only Had Time,” “Say It with Flowers,” “If He Loves Me,” “Almost Like A Song,” “As I Love You,” “You’re the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me,” “You Will Be My Music,” “If I Never Sing Another Song,” and many more.

Joe Longthorne is an irreplaceable icon, and I believe he deserves to be remembered. Through this honorable show, I strive to uphold his legacy and keep his name alive as long as I can.

Doors open at 19:00, with the show starting at 20:30, including a disco! Grab your tickets now – this show will sell out fast, with only 160 tickets available!

Please call Jimmy on 07590 417551 to secure your tickets. Payments can be made via PayPal, Bank Transfer, please include £1.00 for postage.
