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 THING HAPPENED
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. |

***LATEST....Joe and Sally appeared at THE GAIETY THEATRE, Ayr, Scotland in "THE ALL STARS SHOW!" in AUGUST 2008. It was a pleasure to be part of a show like this! Special thanks to Ena Erskine & 'The Friends of the Gaiety Theatre', for sponsoring & organising this great show....not a seat to be had in the theatre, .....(even in "The Gods") on any night! *** Joe appeared with his"Joe Gordon's Ragtime Banjos!" at the EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL on Wed. 30th. July...... at The Royal Overseas League. Again a 'sell-out crowd', & a great audience to play to! Looking forward to next year! ***JOE guested at "THE MIDLAND BANJO FEST" with some wonderful Banjoists...........and thanks Kenny Henderson & pals from Scotland who made the journey down to give support. .........Joe especially enjoyed the concert performances of David Price on plectrum banjo, and young Elias Sibley on finger style classical. Plus enthusiastic players in all styles...a wonderful day....apart from the weather which made the journeys from Scotland 6 hours each way!..Heigh Ho! **Incidentally, Joe's Weymann Banjo which was restored by Jock Westwater from Edinburgh, was much admired for the very intricate inlay work that Jock had done on the resonator. |

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 5 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. |

| *** 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. | |||||||
