Now they are appearing as one of the star attractions at Upton's Folk Festival tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday.

Hailing from the north-east of England, Jez Lowe is a songwriter with wit and charm, whose songs have been recorded by hundreds of artists all over the world, including the Dubliners and Fairport Convention.
