The lure of great music at one of the many stages at Victorious Festival last year brought old friends back together – and sparked something unexpected. Jo Gray met up with Petersfield teacher Joe and Abbie from James Joe to hear how a chance encounter, a twist of fate and a shared love of music led to the formation of the band.

For more about their music find @jamesjoemusic on social media.

Tune in to The Local Showcase with Jo Gray every Thursday at 9pm for original music from talented local artists.
