Jo Ash is a captivating, award-nominated songwriter. Instantly recognisable, with unique vocals and intricate piano, her music is full of strong melodies and drama.

Jo's songs are immersive. She comments on life as she observes and experiences it, sometimes with wry humour, sometimes with heart-felt introspection, and sometimes with both.

Joining Jo, and complementing her songs with his own artistic spin, will be Mike Wheatley on acoustic guitar.

"Jo Ash accompanied by Mike Wheatley are a natural combination. Jo's songs, musical accompaniment and outstanding vocal are a joy to listen to. She is a prolific songwriter and her choice of subject are both varied and highly entertaining. When you add the counterpoint of Mike's guitar work you have a winning combination."?
