ABOUT US
"There’s an equality to the group’s spread of sound, but each player is continually soloing-in-motion, rising up in turn, according to where the ears of the audience might alight at any one moment"
- The Birmingham News -
Grey Wolf is an acoustic Americana/old-time folk band from the Welsh Marches playing traditional instruments such as banjo, fiddle, guitar, dulcimer, mandolin and double bass alongside fine vocal and harmony singing. They like to mix traditional Americana and old time tunes with a few self-penned songs and their aim is, above all, to entertain.
Equally at home in small village halls and much larger venues, the band has headlined several of the prestigious UK's Old Time American Music and Dance Festivals and has appeared throughout the UK.
Their latest Album, Silver Sessions, recorded and produced by Ben Walsh, shows the band at the top of their game.
Jim
Jim has always combined humour and entertainment with his excellent musicianship. In addition to forming and leading Grey Wolf Jim is well known for running ‘The Floor’ which for ten years served a loyal audience with some of the best acoustic music the UK had to offer.
Martin
Martin is a multi-instrumentalist playing guitar, mandolin and dulcimer. He is a prolific song writer and a talented vocalist and has written much of the band's self-penned material.
Andy
Andy plays upright bass and is from the ‘less is more’ school of bass playing. He seeks to complement rather than just accompany his colleagues in Grey Wolf.
Richard
Having grown up surrounded by English, Morris, Scottish and Playford music, Richard was in the vanguard of bringing old time music to the UK folk dance community. He is a hugely popular and in demand fiddle player who is now enjoying bringing together all his musical influences to play with Grey Wolf in his adopted Shropshire home.
