About the event

with support from Duncan McTaggart and Nick Edward Harris

Jon Wilks is a prominent fingerpicking guitarist and singer who performs traditional English folk songs and broadside ballads.

He   has a keen eye and ear for storytelling. During his live shows, he  mixes entertaining folk song performances with fascinating tidbits about  the original singers and collectors that he has unearthed during his  extensive research on traditional folk music in the UK.
