Event information
The third visit to the club from a locally based singer and songwriter. Jon Palmer Acoustic Band are now an established and well respected outfit who have created an enviable live reputation in the north of the country. A six piece band (Jon Palmer - guitar, vocals; Adam Hopkins - cajon, vocals; Wendy Ross - violin, vocals; Ryan Griffiths - bass, vocals; Iain Cunningham - keyboards, vocals; Lee Wellbrook - mandolin, vocals), they perform with a passion and enthusiasm that matches the content of Jon’s songs.
Mixing the traditional with the contemporary, and never afraid to comment on current topics, Jon Palmer writes songs with soaring, memorable choruses that you will have trouble getting out of your head. The band’s last album, Light Goes Low, received great reviews and the band continue to go from strength to strength.

“...their joy illuminated the venue with feel-good folk-rock with spirit and a conscience” - At The Barrier
“…the biggest noise of the weekend, topped with 6-part harmonies, flying fiddle, energy, joy and spirit” - Folk North West
