The past year has seen Jaywalkers – BBC Young Folk Award finalists 2009 – cement their place as one of the most exciting, virtuosic and entertaining young bands working on the British folk scene. Creating a unique sound based on their collective and individual musical backgrounds, the band takes influence from folk, bluegrass, country and western swing music in the form of virtuosic instrumentals, three part harmony and occasionalslap bass. Add good humour, tasteful arrangements and exceptional musicianship to the mix and they are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

They released their second CD – Early for a Thursday – in June to coincide with a very busy summer that took in over 24 festivals, including a CD selling out performance in front of 2000 people at Shrewsbury folk festival and finishing 3rd at the European World of Bluegrass in Holland –making them officially (ish) the 3rd best band in Europe!

“Astounding abilities and proficient talents… the chemistry between them is electrifying….
