Over the past four decades, Jez Lowe has been one of the UK’s busiest singer-songwriters, playing for audiences the world over, either solo, (with guitar, cittern, mandolin and harmonica accompaniment), or with his long-time band The Bad Pennies. He has taken his songs of North-East England to concerts and festivals all across Europe, Canada and the USA, as well as building a sizeable following in Australia and New Zealand. Along the way he has gathered a long list of awards and nominations, including from the BBC FolkAwards and the Sony Radio Awards. His pace and enthusiasm for writing, performing and touring shows no sign of waning.

Jez Lowe’s self-penned songs are among the mostly widely sung wherever folk and acoustic music is performed around the world. Over thelast couple of decades, the likes of Fairport Convention, The Dubliners, TheUnthanks, Wizz Jones, The McCalmans, Mary Black, The Duhks, Bob Fox, The YoungUns, Enda Kenny, Cherish The Ladies, Tom McConville, The Clancys and scores more, have queued up to adopt his songs for their own repertoires.

Richard Thompson has called him “The best singer-songwriter to come out of the UK for a long time.”
