Jo Freya

We’ve decided that our 50th anniversary in 2028 is the right time to disband the group permanently. We’re fortunate to have achieved far more than we ever dreamed was possible and nothing lasts forever. The band is on top form and we’re playing at festivals and venues this autumn and throughout 2026. Details are posted here as soon as they’re fully confirmed. We’ll do a small number of gigs and festivals in the UK and Europe in 2027 and 2028. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone for their support over the years.
