The Joe Echo Podcast

CPI Archive: 2008. WHAT’S in a name? Well, according to Derry troubadour Joe Echo (aka Ciaran Gribbin), everything really. After hanging up his frontman shoes and embarking on a solo fling early last year, the former Leya lead singer needed something to mark him out from the crowd. He spoke with Andrew Hamilton.

“When I left Leya I really wanted to experiment musically. So I decided to reinvent myself. The last thing I wanted to do was come across as just another boring singer-songwriter. It just made sense to go down that road. The name Joe has been very close to me for a long time, it's my grandfather’s name," he said.
