Event information
Jez Lowe has long been one of the UK’s busiest folk performers, playing for audiences the world over and we're pleased to have him back again at The Black Swan Folk Club to kick off the year as our first club guest of 2026.
Jez has helped to rekindle the fire in the tradition of mining songs and culture of his native region in a series of sell out theatre performances around the UK and over the last couple of decades, the likes of Fairport Convention, The Dubliners, The Unthanks, Wizz Jones, The McCalmans, Mary Black and The Young Uns have adopted his songs for their own repertoires.
Richard Thompson has called him “The best singer songwriter to come out of the UK for a long time”, and personally invited him to play at Thompson’s Meltdown Festival at London’s South Bank Centre in 2010.
Jez Lowe’s contributions to the BBC Radio series The Radio Ballads cemented this reputation, with a Sony Radio Award among the many accolades coming its way.
We're looking forward to a great evening of song with Jez accompanying himself on guitar, cittern and harmonica.
