About

Joe Pule is a folk singer for hire in Fremantle, WA.

Joe Pule plays acoustic out of Fremantle, writing and performing across pop, folk, Celtic and roots, with Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Beatles and Angus and Julia Stone somewhere in the background. Harmonica, stomp box and a loop pedal build the sound out well past one guitar. He'll learn one or two songs specifically for your day, which is a small thing that tends to matter at weddings. The covers list runs deep: Heart of Gold, Knockin' on Heaven's Door, Blackbird, Here Comes the Sun, Dreams, Wicked Game, Fast Car, Yellow, Nothing Else Matters, Home, Country Roads and Wagon Wheel. He arrives 30 to 60 minutes early to set up and soundcheck. A smaller PA travels with him for intimate rooms, or he'll work with the venue's own system.

Watch

The show

Joe turns up 30 to 60 minutes before he plays, sets up and sound checks, so nothing is half-built when your guests walk in. The performance leans on melody, with loop pedal layers and harmonica filling out the space around the guitar. He'll learn one or two songs specifically for your occasion, which is worth taking him up on. Set times are flexible and he'd rather talk the running order through with you beforehand than guess at it. Songs come from a wide list across pop, folk, Celtic and roots.

On the day

He travels with a PA that suits smaller rooms, so an intimate venue is covered. For a bigger event, a larger system gets hired in, or he'll plug into whatever the venue already runs, which is often the simplest answer. Either way it's a conversation to have when you enquire, so the sound matches the space you've booked.

Performance options

Every option is built on the same core, vocals, acoustic guitar, stomp box and loop pedal, and what changes is the running time. The short booking runs up to an hour and suits background music or a small gathering. The middle one goes to two hours with a set list chosen for your event and one special song request, a first dance for instance. The longest runs three hours, takes up to three special requests, pulls songs across several genres and keeps music going during the breaks. Sound is set up professionally in all three. Extra playing time can be added, and larger sound or lighting rigs are available if the room needs them.
