BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2010 Folk Singer of the Year
The BBC Radio 2 Folk Award 2010 for Folk Singer of the Year will be joined by the extraordinary 4-piece Remnant Kings featuring the amazing simultaneous drums/fiddle playing of Sam Sweeney (Bellowhead, Kerfuffle) and concertina virtuoso Rob Harbron (English Acoustic Collective, Kerr:Fagan:Harbron) along with David Angel (Angel Brothers) and double bassist Rick Foot.
Jon explores a great range of material, from the post-industrial themes of 'Songs from the Floodplain' song cycle, to interpretations of traditional material, via Bach played on concertina and fiddle, underscored wax cylinder recordings of Victorian post-apocalyptic literature and the occasional rousing grunge classic from Jon's first album, Painted Lady.
Jon is also performing at Towersey 2010 with Bellowhead
