Biography:
“When Jo sings, something thaws that I didn’t even realise was frozen. It’s a magical thing. Jo Hamilton is elemental, gazing out at us with empathy, affection and hope, but perhaps also with the melancholy of some-one who couldn’t stay anywhere long enough to feel like she truly belonged. Perhaps it’s this distance that makes her perspective unique”. - Sweet Billy Pilgrim (2009 Mercury Music Prize Nominee).
Stemming from a nomadic family with roots in both Kenya and Jamaica
