Jez Lowe, Lewes Saturday Folk Club

About

Jez Lowe is one of England's finest singer-songwriters, producing powerful, moving and often humorous songs using the traditional styles of his North-East home about working people, especially miners, shipbuilders and deep-sea fishermen (Back in Durham Gaol, Old Bones, The Bonny Barque the Bergen, These Coal Town Days, High Part of the Town). They have been recorded by Fairport Convention, the Tannahill Weavers, the Unthanks and the Young'uns. He currently works with his band The Bad Pennies, with Bob Fox, Billy Mitchell & Benny Graham in The Pitmen Poets, and contributed to the new BBC Radio Ballads series. Jez plays guitar, harmonica and cittern. Everyone is welcome, especially if you'd like to sing or play. We mostly sing and play traditional music from the British Isles, but we enjoy other styles as well. We always start off with some English dance tunes for anyone with an instrument to join in. During the day Jez leads an all-day workshop on songwriting in traditional style. We have a loyalty card. Six visits earn you £5 off an evening when admission is £6 or more. It's £12 tonight.
