THE SUPERGROUP ARE COMING TO BELPER – BOB FOX – JEZ LOWE – JULIE MATTHEWS IN CONCERT

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF EWAN MacCOLL

Individually, Bob Fox, Jez Lowe and Julie Matthews have sold out venues across the world. Now they have combined to create not only a supergroup but also a new show “In The Footsteps Of Ewan MacColl” And that show comes to St. Peter’s Church, Belper on Thursday 11 May. Between 1957 and 1964 the BBC broadcast eight shows under the heading Radio Ballads. The recordings were created by Ewan MacColl, Charles Parker and Peggy Seeger, In 2006, under the musical direction of John Tams, a new series of award winning programmes were created. Bob Fox, Jez Lowe and Julie Matthews were willing contributors. “In The Footsteps Of Ewan MacColl” celebrates these groundbreaking radio shows. Bob Fox and Jez Lowe have commonalities. Both were born and raised in County Durham. Both are multi-instrumentalist / songwirters. Both play live constantly, attracting big audiences.

Bob Fox and Jez Lowe were driving forces behind the hugely successful ‘Pitmen Poets’.
