Live folk concert by The John Jones Trio, with Oysterband singer John Jones and his long-time bandmates Ray Cooper and Al Scott.
The John Jones Trio play Salisbury Arts Centre on Thursday 11 March 2027, with the concert presented by Midnight Mango. The trio is fronted by John Jones, best known as the singer for Oysterband, who've been a fixture of the folk and roots scene since the 1980s. They started as The Whitstable Oyster Company Ceilidh Band, one of the best ceilidh bands in the business, before evolving into the folk/punk/rock group Oysterband, releasing more than 20 albums and playing every major festival in the UK, Europe and Canada.
Jones has worked with some of the UK's most revered folk artists, including two award-winning albums with singer June Tabor. His solo work began in 2009 with the album Rising Road, and he later formed The Reluctant Ramblers, who walked over 1,000 miles between shows; a second album, Never Stop Moving, followed in 2015. Critics have called him 'a powerful voice' with 'few equals in the live setting'.
