tony wilson

With over 50 years’ of playing and singing experience, Tony Wilson has the skills and passion to please and engage any audience with his varied repertoire and entertaining mixture of folk songs, old, original and new.

 

Serving his apprenticeship in the late 60s/early 70s with residencies in the folk clubs of his native Northeast and adoptive Leeds, he played in all parts of the country turning professional in 1977. As a multi-instrumentalist/ singer-songwriter Tony also travelled and played at many of the major festivals throughout Europe until the early 80s and resumed his solo career on the folk scene in the UK until 1989.

 

In 2017 he resumed his singing career, re-serving his apprenticeship with innumerable floorspots, and, as a guest performer, continues to captivate audiences with his versatility, wit and diverse range of material and musicianship.
