JEZ LOWE @ the HUNGRY HORSE FOLK CLUB Ellesmere Port Cheshire CH65 6QF

Sony Academy Award Winning Singer/Songwriter JEZ LOWE pays another visit to the Hungry Horse Folk Club after too long a break since his last visit in 2023. Biog: A double nomination in the 2015 BBC Folk Awards ? for best singer and best new song ? was a timely reminder of Jez Lowe?s standing in the UK folk and acoustic music scene. Not only he is one of the busiest live performers in the country, but his songs are among the most widely sung by other performers, whether by long-established acts like Fairport Convention, The Dubliners and Bob Fox, or by the new breed of stars like The Unthanks, The Young Uns, Megson and The Duhks. Jez?s own long-established band The Bad Pennies (featuring Kate Bramley, Andy May and David De La Haye) continue to attract a huge following, and his other collaborations with The Pitmen Poets (with Billy Mitchell, Bob Fox and Benny Graham), The Broonzies (alongside fellow-veterans Maggie Holland, Chris Parkinson and Roger Wilson), Men at Words (with James Keelaghan and Archie Fisher) and with fellow-songwriter Steve Tilston, show a willingness to push boundaries and venture boldly into pastures new. Meanwhile, his involvement in the award-winning BBC series The Radio Ballads continues, with his song The Wrong Bus singled out for inclusion on Radio 4?s Pick of the Year in 2018, and five more of his contributions included in the BBC Radio broadcast featuring the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in November 2019. Many of these songs also featured on his 2016 solo album, The Ballad Beyond, the success of which prompted a feature in fRoots magazine and glowing reviews the world over. You can find out much more about this wonderfully talented performer on his website. We are however delighted to have him with us again. The concert is sure to be a sell out so please get your tickets early.
