Nic Jones
British folk singer and guitarist. Amongst the most acclaimed artists to emerge from the British Folk Revival, his sensibility and approach to the arrangement of traditional folk songs has been a major influence on the folk scene since the early 70's. His original percussive style is still imitated by many and as a singer he had few peers. Despite the accident that ended his career, nearly 25 years on he remains one of the most influential and respected performers, his reputation and available recordings continuing to attract an audience too young to have seen him perform.
In February 2007 at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Nic was presented with the Good Tradition Award in recognition of his exceptional contribution to traditional music and culture.
