A double nomination in the 2015 BBC Folk Awards – for best singer and best new song – was a timely reminder of Jez Lowe’s standing in the UK folk and acoustic music scene, after four decades of performing, writing and recording, 

during which his songs of Northern England have reached audiences all around 

the globe. 

 

Not only he is one of the busiest live performers in the country, but his songs are among the most widely sung by other performers, whether by long-established acts like Fairport Convention, The Dubliners and Bob Fox, or by the new breed of stars like The Unthanks, The Young Uns and The Duhks.

​

His Latest album, “Crazy Pagan” (2021) was described in the UK’s Daily 

Telegraph as “Another triumph for one of the UK’s foremost songwriters and 

troubadours”, and a five CD box-set of his 1980s and 1990s albums has now 

been released.
