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. The band has headlined
several of the prestigious UK’s Old Time American Music and Dance Festivals and
has appeared on radio, at folk clubs, festivals, and music and literary venues
throughout the UK.
Grey Wolf was
born in 2010 when Jim Allen and Martin Thomas began playing as a duo blending
their shared love of American old-time music with British folk music. The band
have worked with some great fiddle players over the years, including the richly
talented Ben Walsh who also recorded and produced their latest album. More
recent additions include versatile and experienced bass player, Andy Offer in
2021 and fine Americana and Old Time Fiddle player Richard Coleman in
2023.The band was completed with the
addition of the wonderful vocalist and Appalachian dancer Rosie Green – also in
2023.
The Birmingham
News said of Grey Wolf’s performance at the Kitchen Garden Cafe in Birmingham
“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.
