Jim Ghedi

Jim Ghedi hails from Sheffield, South Yorkshire and although clearly well versed in the history of folk music, he stands out as a potential torch bearer for a new generation of respectful yet experimental performers. On his new album WASTELAND, Jim Ghedi has created something huge. Intense, brooding, bold, at times apocalyptic, and remarkably vast. A profoundly bold sonic statement that is some of the most rich, far-reaching and ambitious work that Ghedi has created to date - pushing the boundaries of what what folk music can be in 2025. Over the years performing headline tours and festivals across the UK & Ireland as well as supporting & touring with bands such as Lankum, Stick in the Wheel, Richard Dawson, Martin Carthy, Shirley Collins. “8/10 UNCUT “A Chastening meditation on Britain in 2021” ★★★★☆MOJO - "Melodically sublime... although Ghedi's music is infused with tradition, it's very much experiencing the present" ★★★★☆ The Sunday Times - “Ghedi at his most bewitching” ★★★★☆ The Times - “A starkly beautiful set.. ancient and modern combine evocatively and with grace” ★★★★★ The Morning Star - “Jim Ghedi finds his voice on his new album, superb!”
