Ken Wilson

Ken lives in Teesside, North–East England and started singing in the early seventies. Finding his own voice and repertoire of songs with a preference to the tradition, he names the likes of Fred Jordan, the Copper family and The Watersons as some of his main influences at that time, but the singing of one Tony Rose, having the greatest impression on him. He shares his love of ‘Folk Songs’ with his other siblings, The Wilson Family, who he sang with from the mid-1970s to 2020! The Wilson Family were awarded the EFDSS Gold Badge in 2017.
