In Search of Nic Jones Tribute Concert

Posted in Events on Sunday 1st May 2011 at 11:06am

South Bank Centre
28th May 2011, Queen Elizabeth Hall

Of Mutability by Jo Shapcott

Part of the series: Stewart Lee’s Austerity Binge

This is the final “In Search of...” tribute concert Nic will be a part of.

Martin Carthy, Ashley Hutchings, Jim Moray, Pete Coe, Jackie Oates, Jim Causley, Chris Coe, Damien Barber, Tony Hall, Belinda O’Hooley, Anais Mitchell, Blair Dunlop, and Joseph Jones.

The current English folk revival owes a lot to Nic Jones. Despite a career-ending car accident nearly 30 years ago, his early recordings have inspired and influenced countless current stars of the folk scene. In this very special concert, produced in association with Sidmouth FolkWeek, some of his biggest fans pay tribute to Nic by sharing their favourites from his repertoire. The highlight of the concert is Nic himself returning to the stage for a reunion of one of his old bands, Bandoggs, and a debut with his son, Joseph.

Tickets on sale now from the South Bank Centre.
