Sam Carter, a highly respected BBC Folk Award winner, presents a heartfelt and timely celebration of a towering figure in English folk music: Nic Jones.
This special show is a loving tribute to one of the genre’s most influential artists. Nic Jones’ innovative, groundbreaking guitar style and profoundly emotive singing have inspired generations of folk musicians, and his seminal album, Penguin Eggs, remains a treasured masterpiece over four decades later.
Hailed by fellow folk artist Jon Boden as "the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation," Sam Carter is uniquely positioned to interpret this revered repertoire. This performance presents a rare opportunity to experience Nic Jones' timeless songs, brought back to life on stage by a master of the folk tradition.
