Happy Easter!

I can't wait to get back on the road with the Remnant Kings for our 2025 Parlour Ballads tour. I'm delighted to announce a second leg of that tour in September of this year: Bury, Birmingham, Truro, Pontardawe and Cardigan. So what with five fantastic summer festivals it's shaping up to be quite a year:

Before all that up I'm delighted to be teaming up with a personal hero and solid-gold-folk-legend Maddy Prior to perform songs from her and Tim Hart's seminal albums “Folk Songs of Olde England vol 1 & 2." We'll be headlining the Saturday night at Maddy's fantastic “Forgotten Lands” festival in Bewcastle, Cumbria:

I've also got three solo shows coming up:

Not to mention the second ever Wassail tour with Eliza Carthy Nov/Dec this year! Tickets are on sale now:

REVIEWS FOR PARLOUR BALLADS

Folk London ****ALBUMS OF 2024****
It’s tender, it’s fun, and it’s well on its way to becoming one of my favourite folk albums full stop.

Songlines
Folk ballad and parlour song intertwine… all to brilliant effect.

Tradfolk
Living and breathing… vulnerable and vital…. a collection of brilliant songs. 

KLOF
A collection of beautifully performed songs brought to life by one of folk music’s premier performers

Bright Young Folk
Deeply poignant… a kaleidoscopic picture of the human condition

Americana UK 
Boden’s distinctive voice treats each subject matter with the reverence and majesty that they deserve. Resurrected and reconstructed for today’s audience. 

Get Ready To Rock
Boden rarely puts a musical foot wrong and he has another winner here.  Perfection.

Liverpool Sound & Vision
Brings undaunted pleasure to the souls of the listener, the ache of a previous time in its passing, resurrected with passion and elegance to a position where it would be unsurprising to see the genre take off with a new audience

Spiral Earth
Sam Sweeney, Rob Harbron, Ben Nicholls, Sally Hawkins and M G Boulter play their part wonderfully alongside Jon in songs of long-gone trades, lost patriots and bygone yearnings
