I'm famous for my fascination of anything spiritual/paranormal, so I guess it was inevitable I would eventually interview a medium. I never intended to do this so it was kind of thrown on me but it worked out better than I could ever have hoped.
I won't spoil the article for you but I will say that Joe was definitely NOT what I was expecting and I came away with a new found respect for him. Bizarrely I had never heard of him (sorry Joe!) but I went for a job interview a couple of days after a terrible bereavement. The place I was in was in the same building he was due to appear the following month. I went in one door but was directed out the other so as I came down the stairs I was faced with an A1 (huge) poster of the guy! Thinking I had no chance I asked for 2 tickets to be reserved ... there WERE front row (that's usually the only place I'll sit for various reasons). I tested my luck and asked if I could have an interview with him ... well, something - whether you call it luck, the Spirit World, Fate - was on my side and by the time I returned home there was a telephone call from his manager, arranging an interview!
I was very nervous about doing it but I plucked up the courage and went along. Before I could get there I felt a strong pull to get flowers to put on a love one's grave. I have learned the hard way never to ignore a gut feeling so I went to the florists. Cut to a few hours later. I found out that Joe had been in London that day and was held up. Time was moving on and I was considering leaving when he entered.
Most of what followed is related in this article but I want to add an extra note - as I left he told me that the person I had put the flowers on was very grateful for them and had loved the colours I chose! I was stunned because he had been 200 miles away at the time! Read on to find out more about this remarkable man.

Article on Joe Power (Medium)
My heart was pounding, I was shaking like a leaf and my palms were slippery with sweat as I waited for my "subject" to arrive. He was a little late, which normally doesn't bother me but the delay was giving me too much time to think. So was I interviewing Tony Blair, President Bush or Saddam Hussein? No, of course not - at least then I would have had a valid reason for my fear - today was to be my first ever interview with a Medium!
Fleetingly I considered leaving before he arrived. Too late - there he was! This was no strange looking guy with a scarf around his head as I was half expecting! Joe Power was an ordinary looking guy wearing a black leather jacket and a pretty girl attached to his arm - his manager and producer Claudine Hope.
Over coffee I discovered Joe Power is a very personable young man who is gaining an excellent reputation in his chosen field - and for solving murder cases including the infamous Sarah Payne and Lindsey Qui cases. He is also a very personable young man who went out of his way to put me at my ease.
Joe explains that he has had countless ghostly experiences and saw his first "ghost" when he was an impressionable 16-year-old. He and his friend saw the spirit of a young man who had been hanged, wearing a brown suit. "What amazed me was the colours - they were so vivid! We couldn't stop staring! The colours are so intense over there. We looked at each other, trying to decide whether to tell someone what we had seen. We went away and when we came back the apparition had vanished!" The awe is still evident in his voice to this day.
Joe explains that many of his "messages" come to him in the form of vivid dreams. He remembers one which was filled with strange images and a voice he should have recognised telling him not to worry, he was 'Happy over here!' The following morning Joe received a telephone call informing him that his brother had died.
"The strange thing was that for weeks the Spirit World had been whispering that someone close was going to die - it turned out to be my brother!"
Joe explained that this incident seemed to open the floodgates as dreams containing messages from the spirit world began increasing in frequency.
"Lindsey Qui came to me and told me that she had been brutally cut up. She told me exactly where she was, showing me places, names, all the information I needed to prove what I was saying! On checking out the story I went to the police. They took a statement but did not do anything with it at the time. The case was finally solved some 4 months later. Looking back I should have been arrested for murder with all the information I provided the police with," he laughed.
More recently, Joe was instrumental in solving the heartbreaking case of Sarah Payne when the little girl visited him and told him they must find the white van - the towel contained vital evidence. "I told the police what I knew - it later transpired that the towel in the back of the van contained the DNA which finally nailed the killer."
Sadly, as things stand at the moment, the police are unable to officially accept his help, though they do follow up any information he gives them.
Joe was kind enough to give me a reading, which surprised me - as did the results! He was very gentle, doing his best to minimise my nervousness. He had no way of knowing I was secretly hoping for 2 people to come through if he did this! Unbelievably he picked up information that astounded me - mentioning things that had happened many years ago, as well as more recent events.
I was very reassured when he picked up very specific information about a very recent, shocking bereavement. There was no doubt in my mind we were in the presence of the young man in question.
Joe is both clairaudient and clairvoyant - meaning he can both see and hear the spirits. He proved this by describing my boyfriend's deceased mother to me. It would be fair to say he may turn out to be the male version of the late, great Doris Stokes.
Joe Power has recently embarked on a Nationwide tour of the UK covering everywhere from Lands End to John O'Groats with his show, The Power of the 7th Sign, produced by Claudine Hope in an effort to reach out to an ever increasing audience. Claudine and Joe intend to bring the show to America shortly so the audience on the other side of the pond can get a taste of Joe's 'Power' at first hand. The Power of the 7th Sign is a marvellous show which is guaranteed to turn tears into laughter, sadness into joy and despair into hope. This is a “Powerful” show which is not to be missed. Be prepared to be subjected to Joe's powerful gift for bringing reunions through the thin veil that separates this world from the next!
On this side of the pond, Joe is astounding audiences on both television and in the more intimate atmosphere of the theatre. Watching him work, one can feel the compassion he brings to what he admits is a responsible job and the reaction from the audience is something to behold. He has everyone - both sceptics and believers alike - eating out of his hand. You can also catch Joe on television. He has a regular spot on Your Destiny TV (Sky Television) where he gives readings live on air! All theatre shows will be recorded for future television use to prove the great good news that there is life after death.
Prior to this interview, I would have said I was sceptical about Mediums but Joe has changed that opinion in the space of a couple of hours.
Joe Power is a remarkable man and I will make a prediction of my own which I am confident will come true - Joe Power is going to astound the world!
