Banter; Jez Lowe; Sam Carter sings Nic Jones - Durham Folk Festival

About

Banter are Simon Care, Nina Zella, Tim Walker and Mark Jolley. Apart from being incredible musicians, they bring a totally fresh approach to their repertoire with re-workings of well-known songs and dance tunes. Renowned for their originality, they create a huge sound and have been described as ‘the world’s smallest big band’.

County Durham's Jez Lowe is one of the UK’s best - and busiest - singer-songwriters. His songs often contain powerful social commentary, wrapped up in lyrical brilliance and with more than a smattering of North East humour.

Hailed by fellow folk artist Jon Boden as "the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation," Sam Carter is uniquely positioned to interpret the repertoire of the legendary Nic Jones. This is a rare opportunity to experience Nic's timeless songs, brought to life on stage by a master of the folk tradition.
