Jez Lowe

By the time Jez Lowe recorded his firth album in 1980, he had already served a musical apprenticeship in the thriving traditional music scene around his native northeast England. He had played in a variety of groups over several years, usually in partnership with Ged Foley. When Foley joined the Battlefield Band at the turn of the decade, Lowe began a solo career, signing with Cumbria-based Fellside Records for the first of eight albums. Lowe has toured all over Europe, North America, and Australia. As a recording artist, he has consistently been Fellside's "top seller.
