Event information
Jez Hellard & Nye Parsons
Jez Hellard is a singer of potent songs, teller of gripping tales, fine guitarist and simply stunning harmonica player who has spent the past 20 years travelling the world performing, often in unlikely places. His band, The Djukella Orchestra, play traditional and contemporary folk music, from jigs, reels and rebel ballads to tango, rhumba, reggae and pretty much anything in between. In the past decade they’ve played well over a thousand gigs; from Glastonbury Festival to the North Country Fair, New York to Taipei, Union Chapel to Extinction Rebellion.
Featuring Nye Parsons, one of the most captivating double-bassists you're likely to witness, their blend of virtuoso musicianship, witty repartee and a deep repertoire of powerful songs never fails to turn heads.
“Jez has the type of voice that impels you to listen. Ridiculously enjoyable… an unequivocal thumbs up.” Folk Radio UK
“It’s heartening to hear such thoughtful yet deeply felt songs, given the times we live in now. To hear them so well sung, so adroitly arranged and brilliantly performed is a joy.” Songlines
