WESSEX ACOUSTIC

 

Jez and Kate-by-Alan-Reynolds-2012 smallerLook who's coming back to Wessex Acoustic on Friday 18th March!

The amazing  Jez Lowe, who received a double nomination in the 2015 BBC Folk Awards - for best singer and best new song. He is bringing one of the Bad Pennies with him, the delightful Kate Bramley. This is the first time they have appeared as a duo bringing something fresh and new, yet also familiar and comfortable.

 

Jez has been remarkably busy in recent months with his own long-established band The Bad Pennies (featuring Kate Bramley, Andy May and David De La Haye) who 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 (coming April 29th), showing 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 last December. The song is also featured on his latest album, The Ballad Beyond, the success of which prompted a feature in fRoots magazine and glowing reviews the world over.

So just think what stars of the folk world are coming to you, in Blandford.

Don't miss this chance to see two of our favourite performers supported with an opening set from the velvet voiced King of Americana, Rod Jenkins.
