SALLY
LOGAN first achieved stage fame as a child, appearing in many Concerts.
Radio broadcasts and TV appearances followed. Featuring in many Scottish
Theatre Shows was the next step for Sally. Then she went on to star
in the leading role of the London West End Musical "CARNIVAL".Later
she also featured in "A FUNNY THINGHAPPENED
ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM". Sally also guested on numerous television
shows in Scotland, including BBC TV's "WHITE HEATHER CLUB"
Also appearing
on that show was JOE GORDON, who had arrived in that popular series
via Skiffle Groups and Jazz Clubs! Many B.B.C. Radio broadcasts later,
with his group "THE JOE GORDON FOLK FOUR", he was resident
on TV's "White Heather Club" for several years. In the early
sixties he had several top twenty records in the Scottish charts.
From these
differing musical backgrounds, Joe and Sally finally teamed up in1966,
and rapidly established themselves on record and TV as one of the country's
leading acts. World wide appearances soon followed.Several tours of
USA and Canada,... shows in Australia; New Zealand; Germany; Italy;
Turkey; Greece; and most recently, appearances in "Burns Concerts"
in Russia! All these have proved the appeal of their versatile act.
A speclal highlight was a 'show-stopping' appearance with the late Andy
Stewart at New York's marvellous CARNEGIE HALL.
**Joe
and Sally have made more than 400 TV appearances over the years.
**Joe
and Sally's many TV shows led to the couple recording seven albums.
**They were also invited to take part in two ROYAL PERFORMANCES.

Four decades 'down-the-line' Joe and Sally are still in demand for Concerts
and Theatre dates. Recently they featured in Mike Clark's "HAIL
CALEDONIA!" production, which played to packed houses all over
Scotland. Reviews and comments from their fellow performers, have suggested
that they are 'singing better than ever!' Their own show "AN EVENING
WITH JOE GORDON & SALLY LOGAN" is proving to be very popular,
and they have also adapted this show for appearances in churches throughout
Scotland. Bringing theatre entertainment back to the communities.
What has
made Joe and Sally such a continuing success? Their professionalism
& musicianship surely; which enables them to be equally at home
in a small 'club date' or a TV Special! Plus their performing abilitites
in many different types of material.......Ballads, Scottish, Country.....all
of these are performed with their instantly recognisable style of vocal
harmony that ensures an audiences' enjoyment.
Most recently
Joe has returned to his love of Jazz and Banjo! His two "RAGTIME
BANJO!" CDs attracted a lot of favourable reviews, and he has appeared
for the last 8 years at the Edinburgh International Jazz Festival.
Offstage
the married couple live in rural Ayrshire.Their son SCOTT GORDON is
famous in his own right as an ALL SCOTLAND ACCORDION CHAMPION. He is
married to a lovely lass SUSAN (nee Mackintosh) and they live near Aberdeen.
Sally's 'big sister' ANNE FIELDS, (also well known to theatre audiences
in Scotland!) lives close to Sally & Joe in Ayrshire.

In a completely different field, Joe Gordon has had a 'day job' for the
last twenty or so years as a much respected CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST. And
in parnership with a Glasgow Doctor he offered advice on psychological problems
on "RADIO PHONE-INS" for several years. Joe has continued in practice,
and consults in his SCOTTISH HYPNOTHERAPY CLINIC. He likes to keep this
profession totally separate from his entertainment committments.
