Jon Wilks is an acclaimed fingerpicking guitarist and singer of traditional folk songs and broadside ballads from the English repertoire. His background as a journalist (a former editor of Time Out magazine and contributor to Dazed & Confused, The Guardian and other publications) means that he has a great eye/ear for a story, and this shows in his live shows ? an amusing mix of folk song performance and storytelling.
"Jon?s passion informs his live shows, the songs liberally sprinkled with anecdotes, humour and history, his singing and personality hugely engaging. The sort of performer folk circles mean when they talk of the living tradition" (Folking.com).
"Up The Cut is a beautiful album. Affecting, simple guitar, exquisitely accompanied by Wilks? authentic, honest voice. A raw, but entirely seductive, performance. One for all lovers of traditional songs delivered with minimal frills." (Folk Radio).
