Jez Lowe makes a welcome return to the Grove. A major contributor and star of the folk scene for over 40 years now Jez continues to develop new material with a strong emphasis on social and political commentary. 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. 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.
His collaborations with a variety of individuals and groups including The Bad Pennies, The Pitmen Poets,The Broonzies ,Men at Words and Steve Tilston, alongside his involvement in the award-winning BBC series The Radio Ballads show a willingness to push boundaries and venture boldly into pastures new.
Five of his Radio Ballad contributions were 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,
A special anniversary was celebrated at the beginning of 2020, when Fellside Records released a five CD set of Jez’ solo albums, forty years since the release of his debut LP in 1980. “The Jez Lowe Fellside Collection”
Jez’s latest solo album, “Crazy Pagan”, his first for six years, was recorded during the lockdown of 2020
