Jack Warnock is a multi-instrumentalist and singer from Maghera, Co. Derry.

Throughout his career Jack has performed as a soloist, accompanist, and in groups such as TRODA, Cóiriú, The Doc Flock and Conor Mallon’s Unearthed project at events, festivals, and venues across the world. Jack has collaborated with other legendary musicians such as The West Ocean String Quartet and Dónal O’Connor.

In recent years Jack has been nominated for the prestigious BBC Young Folk Award, won the Senior Accompaniment Competition at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, and received the ‘Young Musician’s Platform’ award from ACNI and BBC NI. He also released his debut solo album, ‘Le Solas Faoithine,’ and opened for the legendary Bothy Band in the iconic Waterfront Hall, Belfast.

Absorbing music from an early age and playing piano from the age of seven, Jack’s love of trad would really blossom when he picked up the guitar in his teens. He quickly fell in love with the tunes and songs that seemed to surround him, and that was that - his calling was clear. His guitar style has been guided and influenced by many greats, including John Doyle, Tim Edey, Ed Boyd, Tony McManus and Seamie O’Dowd, to name but a few.

An avid Gaeilgeoir, Jack performs songs in both Irish and English. His compositions and selections are steeped in storytelling, as he embraces the lineage of folk music in its truest form.

Jack will be joined by folk music maestros Toby Shaer and Archie Churchill-Moss, who share credits with Cara Dillon, Sam Kelly and the Lost Boys, Honey and the Bear and more alongside their own prolific solo careers.
