Can't play an instrument. Can't sing. Can't write.

So the natural thing to do is to record songs on the ukulele. Then cry.

Original Americana with Yorkshire personality.

Sheffield-based artist Banjo Jen is difficult to categorise but easy to fall for. With razor-sharp songwriting, percussive Appalachian step-dancing and between-song banter to make you laugh out loud, her refreshingly original live act is guaranteed to win the heart of every crowd.

Tipped by Maverick magazine for a ‘long musical career’, Jen hit the ground running by playing fringe events in Austin TX during SXSW 2017 - just a couple of months after her first ever gig. She was then selected by the Americana Music Association UK to showcase at both Red Rooster and The Long Road festivals, was invited to perform at Eagle Music / Deering Banjo Company’s banjo event of the year, and has supported many touring international Americana acts and British folk artists. Often accompanied by punchy double-bass, her live sets have proved a hit with audiences and she has recently added accordion and backing vocals to the regular line-up. 

The ‘smart and sassy’ debut EP “Lost & Found” is a collection of Jen’s early songs, showcasing her rhythmic ‘frailing’ style of banjo-playing and her fiercely melodic approach to songwriting. Her new follow-up EP “Cloud of Dust” is a collection of the more country-style songs in her repertoire, recorded with a full band (including backing vocals by Bob Harris Emerging Artist 2022 award-winner Lauren Housley and production by AMA UK award-nominee Thomas Dibb).

I am a folk fiddle player and singer. All songs uploaded here include my vocals, fiddle or both. I often add backing vocals and/or fiddle parts to other people's fantastic songs, or I cover my favourite songs with lead vocals. I hope you enjoy my sound.

Singer-songwriter based in Sheffield, UK.   

Peter has been writing songs since his days in a proto-punk band in Leeds in the seventies. He’s lost track of how many songs he’s composed, but the total is ‘somewhere up in the hundreds’. 

During the 1980’s he played in The Guild - a rock covers band (a.k.a. The Guild of Thieves) - and, with Andy Scholey, in nu-folk duo Eat the Peach (a.k.a. Suburban Strum). The highlight of his early career was when Eat the Peach played the Amnesty International ‘Festival of Youth’ at Milton Keynes Bowl, on a bill that included The Damned, Big Audio Dynamite, Joe Strummer and Aztec Camera. 

Nowadays his music spans a wide range of styles including folk, pop, rock and instrumental pieces. He was responsible for the ‘Who Killed Johnny B?’ web pages and he has also written two musicals: ‘Hollywood’ and ‘Old King Coal’. 

Peter has contributed songs to several productions by Steel Valley Beacon - a community arts group based in Stocksbridge, Sheffield.  He was musical director for the Beacon’s production of Shakespeare’s 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream'.  Steel Valley Beacon Arts premiered ‘Old King Coal’, with performances to enthusiastic audiences in Sheffield, Wakefield, Barnsley and the Dearne Valley.  The production was reprised in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike at the South Yorkshire Festival and also at Steel Valley Beacon Arts’ own Homegrown Festival. 

Peter again took on the role of musical director and music co-writer for the Beacon's production of 'Here Be Dragons', a musical entirely written by members of the group that was based on the local history of the Stocksbridge area.

More recently, Peter has written and performed with Dave Roebuck as The Wantley Dragons, with Dave Moffatt and Dave Roebuck as Red House, and solo as Sat Nav Pete.  The Wantley Dragons have released a CD entitled, 'Hearth and Heart', which is available via Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, etc - as are Peter's solo albums:
'The Road Less Travelled', 'Crossing the North Pole by Boat', 'Disaster Movie Season', 'Sat Nav Sessions', 'Tin Pan Alley' and 'UKPlc'.
