R2 MAGAZINE
After selling their home to hit the road the acoustic duo Wildwood Jack spend large parts of the year touring across the UK, Europe and New Zealand. Their stories and adventures are deeply rooted in their music and their songs speak of amazing journeys both real and imagined.
'Wildwood Jack' is their name for the independent spirit of music that knows no boundaries and their wide repertoire draws from an eclectic songbook as well as instrumentals and heartwarming original songs.
Their stories and adventures are intimately woven into their brand new album 'Liberty Ship' released on 1st March 2018. Bringing together the sound of folk, americana and world music the album also features legendary drummer Liam Genockey from 'Steeleye Span' on four of the tracks.
Wildwood Jack are husband and wife Adam Piggott and Jayne Freeman, brought together by a love of music when they first met in 1991 at Hull University and they've been travelling on musical journeys ever since. Settling in Hastings in East Sussex in 2002 they played in various musical projects from samba bands, ukulele sextets and a cabaret trio all the while gathering and writing songs with music taking them further and further afield. From these travels and adventures they longed to hit the road full time and in June 2013 they sold up and began an inspirational journey thats taken them all over the UK, Europe and New Zealand. Playing at acoustic clubs, folk clubs, festivals, house concerts and even busking brings new people to their music. Check here for where to see them play.
"Can't believe I got to hear you two play today; was such an amazing experience, was completely lost in your music. Thank you so much"
