Since reaching the finals of the BBC Young Folk Awards in 2008, Jaywalkers have cemented their place as one of the most exciting, virtuosic and entertaining young bands working on the British Folk scene. Creating a unique sound, the band takes influence from folk, bluegrass, country and western swing music in the form of virtuosic instrumentals, 3-part harmony and impressive slap bass.
After a summer of festival performances across the UK, placing #3 at the European World of Bluegrass and being awarded Help Musicians UK’s Emerging Excellence Award, Jaywalkers will be releasing their third album - Weave - in March 2015. Produced by the BBC Folk Award winning Andy Bell, the album will heavily feature Mike Giverin’s original compositions that take inspiration from the Lancashire stories that are a part of his heritage, as well as highlight their excellent musicianship, the powerful lead vocals of Jay Bradberry, and slap bass of Lucille Williams.
