Not quite 'Artlepool born n bred, Jez is from Easington Colliery, though he was educated in Pool. We were classmates at St Francis Grammar for 5 years. ( sadly that school is long gone though the building that housed the art room, library and 6th form common room still exists as the White House pub. I'm not only extremely jealous of his musical talents but also the fact that the bugger hardly looks any older than when we left school in 1973!
I'm ashamed to say (at 58 in Apr '24) i'd never heard of Jez Lowe until a friend invited me to see him at Croydon Folksong club tomorrow, so i thought i'd better check him out. On this evidence I can't wait to see him and look forward to a great night.
Curse you Mr Lowe, this song has been an ear worm for me for the last week or two as well as "The Wrong bus". but hey... tis the sign of a good song :O) Must have a google and see if you're performing near Suffolk this year. I'd Love to see you again after so many years.
+Janek bomersbach Jez actually went to school (St. Francis) in Hartlepool. Although he hails from Easington, I believe that he also lived in Seaton Carew.
I was born in Hartlepool and still live here but I hate it it's just a horrible town I don't even support Hartlepool football I support Sunderland and Carlisle ..worst place to live
Brilliant song and performance, Thank you Jez.
One of the treasures of the north east folk scene. Thank you Jez for the many many fine songs. Paul Waters
I am born and bred in Hartlepool and this song is BRILLIANT. Well done Jez.
