​Jon Palmer writes songs from the heart that draw on the best of the traditional and the contemporary folk world. A master of the unforgettable chorus, you will find it difficult to leave one of his performances without a song or two lodged firmly in your head.

Accompanying Jon (guitar, vocals) is his band (Adam Hopkins - cajon, vocals; Wendy Ross - violin, vocals; Eddy Green - bass, vocals; Iain Cunningham - keyboards, vocals; Lee Wellbrook - mandolin, vocals) who are a tight-knit unit that revel in playing venues from small intimate folk clubs to full size festival stages. They are fully in tune with Jon’s songwriting and perform them with passion, enthusiasm and not a small amount of joy. Together, they have established a formidable live reputation which is hard to beat.

“Energy filled folk-rock spilled from a 6-piece that hit the audience straight between the ears right from the start, rarely letting up” - Fatea
“...their joy illuminated the venue with feel-good folk-rock with spirit and a conscience” - At The Barrier
“…the biggest noise of the weekend, topped with 6-part harmonies, flying fiddle, energy, joy and spirit” - Folk North West

​

Jon is a former winner of the Grolsch UK Songwriter of the Year, and a published songwriter with Sony.
