Ballads and Songs: Sam Carter sings Nic Jones

Thu 1 Oct 2026

BBC Folk Award winner Sam Carter presents Ballads and Songs: Sam Carter sings Nic Jones, a heartfelt celebration of one of folk’s most influential voices. Nic Jones’s groundbreaking guitar style and emotive singing inspired generations of musicians. Though his career was cut short by a car accident in 1982, his influence endures; Nic’s masterpiece album Penguin Eggs is treasured more than forty years on. Hailed by Jon Boden as “the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation,” Sam brings Nic’s timeless songs back to the stage for one season only; a rare chance to hear this remarkable repertoire live.

A group of six men stand outdoors in a wooded area, surrounded by tall, leafless trees with sunlight streaming through the branches behind them. They are casually dressed and appear to be a band, each holding or standing near musical instruments. Visible instruments include a cello, a flute, an accordion, a banjo, and a guitar.
