Over the past four decades, Jez Lowe has been one of the UK’s busiest singer-songwriters, playing for audiences the world over, either solo, (with guitar, cittern, mandolin and harmonica accompaniment), or with his long-time band The Bad Pennies. He’s taken his songs of north-east England to concerts and festivals all across Europe, Canada and the USA, as well as building a sizeable following in Australia and New Zealand.

1 February: Singers’ Night (with stage, lights and PA system)
Back by popular demand, our special singers’ nights give our regulars a chance to perform on stage with amplification and lighting.
