Jez Lowe

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. His self-penned songs are among the mostly widely sung wherever folk and acoustic music is performed around the world. He has taken his songs of North-East England to concerts and festivals all across Europe, Canada and the USA. Along the way he has gathered a long list of awards and nominations, including from the BBC Folk Awards and the Sony Radio Awards. His pace and enthusiasm for writing, performing and touring shows no sign of waning.
