Jez Lowe is one of England’s finest singer-songwriters, producing powerful, moving & 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 & 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 recent BBC Radio Ballads series. Jez plays guitar, harmonica & cittern.
The workshop will cover an approach to writing ‘modern’ songs using the techniques & sensibilities often found in traditional folk songs & narrative ballads, both lyrically & musically. People who don’t read music or play an instrument are welcome.
