A live celebration of Nic Jones’ music, performed by BBC Folk Award winner Sam Carter.

Sam Carter presents Ballads and Songs: Sam Carter sings Nic Jones, a heartfelt celebration of one of folk’s most influential voices. Nic Jones’s ground-breaking guitar style and emotive singing inspired generations of musicians. Though his career was cut short by a car accident in 1982, his influence endures; Nic’s masterpiece album Penguin Eggs is treasured more than forty years on. Hailed by Jon Boden as “the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation,” Sam brings Nic’s timeless songs back to the stage for one season only; a rare chance to hear this remarkable repertoire live.

"Sam Carter is such a wonderful player and singer, his treatment of Nic Jones’ material is spot on" Martin Simpson

"An English acoustic virtuoso" Guitarist Magazine
