Ryburn Folk Club – Nick Dow

Nick Dow has been singing traditional Folk Songs for over forty years.

He is an acknowledged expert on West Country Folk Songs and together with his wife Mally , collected over 300 songs in Dorset, Lancashire and Essex. He has also made recordings of Gypsy singers, some of which have been included on Topic Records series ’The Voice of the People’.

Nick Dow has returned to the folk scene after a long absence. He spent several years building up his business of signwriting and building and restoring Gypsy wagons.

Nick has lived an amazing life. He has travelled half way round the world, living on the road with Travellers and learning their songs; working as a TV and film extra, broadcaster, narrowboat painter, writer, folklorist, guitar teacher and general dealer.

Every song Nick sings has a story attached to it and his gigs are as informative as they are entertaining.
