Jon Wilks – All Hallows Church, Whitchurch

Feb 12th, 2022. Doors, 7:30pm

Aside from helping to run Whitchurch Folk Club, Jon Wilks is an acclaimed traditional folk guitarist and singer. His February 2021 tour will feature songs from his most recent album, Up The Cut, as well as a selection from his previous albums and EP releases.

Jon’s 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 conversation. He throws in weird and wonderful tidbits about the original singers and collectors that he has unearthed during his substantial writing and podcasting research on traditional folk music in the UK.

Jon will be at All Hallows Church on Feb 12th for the first date of his tour.

Support will be from Jon’s son, Kai Wilks, who will be performing with members of his band, Cutflowers.
