Eddy Jay

Rob catches a fantastic double-header event at Kenilworth Castle with multiple BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners Greg Russell & Ciaran Algar and Will Pound & Eddy Jay, currently riding high on the back of their new album ‘Ignite’.

“It’s like this” says Will Pound and then demonstrates on his harmonica the ‘triplet’ technique that he and Eddy Jay have just been attempting to explain to me. I nod, giving them my full attention while pretending to understand…Read Rob’s interview with Will & Eddy.

Ignite is an album that will lift spirits and give you a smile, even on the dullest of days, and leave you marvelling at the virtuosity of two astoundingly talented musicians.

Our Tune of the Day is from Will Pound and Eddy Jay as they perform a staggering version of Floating Candle. I’ve seen Will performing this tune with his full band but with just harmonica and accordion it becomes something all the more innovative and ear-catching as both musicians shine to their fullest!
