The Jon Palmer Acoustic Band are an established and well-respected outfit who have created an enviable live reputation in the north of the country, which is hard to beat.

More Information (Your Ilkley is not responsible for external websites)

A six-piece band (Jon Palmer - guitar, vocals; Adam Hopkins - cajon, vocals; Wendy Ross - violin, vocals; Eddy Green - bass, vocals; Iain Cunningham - keyboards, vocals; Lee Wellbrook - mandolin, vocals), they perform with a passion and enthusiasm that matches the content of Jon’s songs.

Mixing the traditional with the contemporary, and never afraid to comment on current topics, Jon Palmer writes songs with soaring, memorable choruses that you will have trouble getting out of your head.

The band’s last album, Vacca Wall, garnered great reviews, and the next album issues for release later in 2025.

“Energy filled folk-rock spilled from a 6-piece that hit the audience straight between the ears right from the start, rarely letting up” - Fatea

“...their joy illuminated the venue with feel-good folk-rock with spirit and a conscience” - At The Barrier

“…the biggest noise of the weekend, topped with 6-part harmonies, flying fiddle, energy, joy and spirit” - Folk North West
