Jo Freya

I am often described as the chameleon of Folk and mistress of reinvention. Why?  Because I play in many bands with completely different styles as well as composing to very diverse briefs. I’m a singer, saxophonist, clarinet and whistle-playing pianist… to start with!

As expected 2024 was quiet due to enforced quarantine until the end of March, and then I was back in the fray. It involved being able to be actually physically with The National Youth Folk Ensemble at their April and August residential, both of which culminatied in amazing performances. Blowzabella were back in full swing as was Narthen and anything else I normally dip my musical toes into.

2025 will see many workshops and performances, particularly from Narthen and Blowzabella but also a new trio called Fraser-Coope, which is my sister and I and my niece Katy Coope. All dates are on the gig page and I update it as regularly as I can.  On this web site you'll see what kind of things I am and have been involved in, see what is booked into the diary coming up and generally get to know the variety of life that is that of the musician Jo Freya. 

I have a news letter that goes out a maximum of once a month, which you can subscribe to. Do feel free to be in contact and ask questions should you wish to.
