Jez Lowe and The Bad Pennies have been playing their songs and music of Northern England for over two decades around the folk festivals, clubs and concert stages of the world. “Acoustic simplicity coupled with electric vitality” was how they were described in their early days, and with a dozen albums to their credit, along with solo albums by Jez and by other members of the group, their following has continued to increase.
They have played in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Holland, Belgium and of course all over the UK and Ireland. Their annual Christmas Tour has played to sell-out audiences across the UK for the last 15 years, and albums such as “Northern Echoes – Live on the Tyne”, “Wotcheor!” and 2023’s “Snow Dancing” have delighted audiences the world over.
Strong vocals, backed by outstanding instrumental back-up on guitar, cittern, fiddle, fretless bass, keyboards and Northumbrian Pipes, have made them one of Britain’s top attractions on the folk/acoustic/Celtic circuit.
