Bayliss & Seal

what they say...

…A wonderful vocalist and sensitive guitar player with original songs complimenting his style. His amiable chat between songs made it feel like a carpet had been placed on the stone floor!

SOUL SESSIONS

...Fantastic performance - mesmerizing and very special. Created a wonderful atmosphere and evening.

The Bookshop By The Sea

…stunning performance. Beautifully crafted and performed songs that reach for your heart, but the humour and open conversation between songs pulls you in.

Ludlow Folk

.... If you're never heard Joe sing , make the effort and go to one of his gigs, His soft mellow speaking voice transcends into his vocal performance, to a soft, yet punctuated high tenor that's barely a whisper , but can be heard in the back of the room , And in contrast, his baritone - vibrato rich and full, resounds in your chest as you listen....A headline act that can grace any venue in the country.

Red Lion Folk Club

describe us...

"It feels less like a performance and more like a late-night confession"

For listeners who prefer their folk music stripped of all pretence;

raw, acoustic, and deeply human.

In an era saturated with highly produced, multi co-writer music, the raw, unvarnished artistry of a true singer-songwriter can feel like a breath of fresh air.

Joe Bayliss with Mike Seal, are firmly planted in this esteemed tradition, delivering a collection of songs that are as introspective as they are universally relatable.

Bayliss possesses a vocal quality that is immediately captivating; a warm, slightly weathered timbre that conveys a depth of emotion without resorting to overt theatrics. There's an authenticity in his delivery, a sense that every lyric is pulled directly from lived experience. He navigates melodies with a gentle precision, allowing the natural ebb and flow of his voice to carry the narrative.
