Pilgrims’ Way are an English folk band, formed in 2010.
[1] Pilgrims' Way are a five-piece band from North West England, who rapidly became known in 2011 as one of the most prolific folk groups in the United Kingdom.
[2] The band's influences are varied but they share a deep respect for the tradition and take as their inspiration some of the most influential bands from the 1960s/1970s revival.
Named for the Rudyard Kipling poem, set to music by Peter Bellamy, their self-stated aim is to "present gimmick-free English folk of the finest kind".
[3] The five band members, Edwin Beasant, Jude Rees, Tom Kitching, Jon Loomes and Heather Sirrel play a wide range of instruments, often changing between them many times during sessions, which enables the band to play a diverse repertoire of music.
