Joe Zuccala

I am the owner of the Ark Bar, in Brantham, Essex. We are a small grass roots music venue. We have had the pleasure of having Joe Zuccala play as our headline act on a number of occasions. He has played for our charity events and he has stepped in to play for me in an emergency so I have had the privilege to play drums for and sing with Joe. He is probably the best guitarist that we have ever had play at the Ark and he is also one of the friendliest, most helpful, generous and genuine young men that I have had the pleasure of meeting over the last 5 years. I can't speak highly enough of Joe and his stunning talent and ability on the guitar and would recommend any organisation to book him in a heartbeat. Yours Faithfully, Ivor Thomas, Owner manager of The Ark Bar. ( Please see us on facebook for any clarification needed)

I was very fortunate to catch Joe's first solo performance at this highly popular Essex venue. One may have thought this would have been a quiet night, but this was not the case- there were over 80 here, all aware of Joe's ever-growing reputation as a first class guitarist in East Anglia. They were not to be disappointed, Joe played superbly, mixing splendid self- penned compositions and terrific original interpretations of other artists like Paul Simon. Joe's takes were handled with class, love and respect. Overall, a highly successful evening ; on a personal level I was struck with the genuine talent and humility of this 19 year old and how he held captive the entire audience for the whole evening. We await the return of this remarkable artist for a proposed return in August 2023. Joe Zuccala, solo gig, Sackett's Grove Club, West Clacton on Sea. 6th August 2021.
