Joe Stead
Professional folk singer since 1964 having sung folk songs since 1958; I've met and sung with Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson among countless others. Founder member of Kimber's Men - formed in June 2001. Subsequently resigned from Kimber's Men in October 2016. I had been very ill that year (nearly dying in May 2016) from Cancer. So after 15 years I was subsequently told I hadn't been missed in the six months whilst I was in hospital and wouldn't be missed in the future. So I'm working solo again and relieved to be out of a band where I was clearly disliked and not wanted.
