The late Joe Ely at Calgary Folk Festival about ten years ago. We did a workshop together, then talked for ages about Texas, County Durham and how much we both loved Canada. I look star-struck. I was!

Thanks to everyone for supporting me in 2025. Thanks too for helping make my album “Oubliette” such a success. Looking forward to 2026, with solo gigs, Bad Pennies gigs, a tour with The Pitmen Poets, a trip to Canada with Keelo and the publication of novel no.5! And better times for us all.

![Good people, come
And gather 'round me
Listen to me sing my song
I'm a wind-blown seed
In a land of greed
Living with a dream gone wrong
Ah but someday, some say
They'll all be growing greener
In the North Country
Jez Lowe & The Bad Pennies

Solo in Durham tonight (Old Cinema Laundrette) and Whitby next weekend (Rifle Club, Sunday 30th) - two of my very favourite places in the UK. Like living time machines. And much more.

Everyone seemed to have a fab time at The Young Uns birthday gig at the weekend. I certainly did. Great audience for me, and the lads really are something special. (Ta for pic Maureen).
