JP Slidewell

JP Slidewell is a singer who possess the talent to play folk songs in a unique and wonderful way. He sets himself apart from his contemporaries through refreshingly original arrangements and re-workings of well known and obscure folk songs. He is committed to keeping alive the traditional aspects of folk. 

Last year he released his 1st LP ‘From Light to Darkness’ and this was very well received, giving an excellent and true representation of his live performance – as it was all recorded live! Very soon after he was featured on a couple of radio shows and later the same year released his 2nd LP ‘As it Happens!’ – consisting of songs from these radio sessions and other live performance recordings.

This 2nd LP received even more plaudits, enhancing JP’s profile, and again showing JP to be an exciting and vibrant performer and interpreter of traditional folk songs and ballads. Later this year he will be releasing his 3rd LP ‘Love, Death, Poverty and War!’ which continues his on going interest and thirst for learning and performing more and more traditional folk songs!

All the songs were performed and recorded live ‘as they happened’ and serve to demonstrate what a dynamic and talented folk singer JP Slidewell really is!
