Jon Wilks

Jon Wilks is an acclaimed fingerpicking guitarist, songwriter and singer of traditional folk songs and broadside ballads. He has a great eye and ear for a story and his shows are an amusing mix of folk song performance and storytelling. He has an extensive knowledge of the original singers and collectors, unearthed during his substantial writing and podcasting research on traditional folk music in the UK, and his performance is both entertaining and informative. His latest album 'Before I Knew What Had Begun I Had Already Lost' is a go-to favourite.
