A musician from Harrogate will be playing a three-day London festival later this month.

Joe Flanagan will be one of the first acts to perform at the Islington Radio Festival on September 10.

Joe was born and raised in Harrogate and is a former Harrogate Grammar School pupil, now residing in Bournemouth.

The guitarist, who has been influenced by the Gallagher brothers, began penning his own songs aged thirteen. He will be performing entirely original pieces during his set.

The Islington Radio Festival is a new event for this year founded by presenters at the station of the same name.

The gig will be one of many during the month as he is also set to play London venues such The Amersham Arms and Bethnal Green.

Joe spoke of his music;

"I started writing as a naughty kid aged 13 as an outlet for my emotions.
"My songs are based on personal experiences but written in a way that everyone can relate to."


He isn't currently signed to a record label, however he hinted of an upcoming EP in the works which he hopes will boost his career.
