A finger style guitarist with a uniquely impassioned vocal style, Jim Ghedi was born and brought up in the Crookes area of Sheffield. He takes Matthew Bannister to his Nan and Grandad’s terraced house where he heard a lot of Irish music as a child. Jim rejected folk music at first, but found his way back to it as a teenager. Now he’s steeped in the tradition, citing the guitar playing of Bert Jansch and the singing of Norma Waterson as influences. At a beautiful vantage point at the top of one of Sheffield’s seven hills, we are joined by his friends dbh (on fiddle) and Neil Heppleston (on double bass). --- Access four exclusive films of Jim performing along our walk, along with over 100 other performances from dozens of artists, by signing up to Folk On Foot On Film: https://www.folkonfoot.com/watch  We rely entirely on support from our listeners to make Folk on Foot.

Jim Ghedi (and Friends) in Crookes and the Moss Valley

Our second New Lion Brewery Session was Jim Ghedi.  Here is his brilliant set in full.  Jim Ghedi is a 6 &amp; 12 string guitarist and folk singer from the outskirts of Sheffield, England. He spent a good proportion of the last 2 years touring the UK &amp; Europe in support of his debut album ‘Home is where I exist, now to live &amp; die’ (Cambrian Records, 2015), gaining radio play in the US, Australia, Belgium and UK. His current solo work explores connections to the natural environments and heritage of rural communities and landscapes across the British Isles, including the village in which he grew up along the Yorkshire/Derbyshire borders.  Drawing musically from some interesting genre-crossing ideas combining finger-style guitar composition, orchestral arrangments and traditional Folk Song.. Jim Ghedi is busy touring and in the process of releasing his next solo record planned with Basin Rock record label for late 2017 alongside a duo project with guitarist Toby Hay in the following year.
