INTRODUCING GREGORY  PAGE

Gregory Page was born and grew up in North London. He was a quiet boy, fond of listening to music on his Grandfather's gramophone. His Grandfather Dave Page was a master Uilleann Piper from Dublin, Ireland.

In the 1930's his group The Siamsa Gael Band made two 78RPM recordings for Columbia, some of the earliest recordings of traditional Irish music. (Click here for information on Dave Page)

At fourteen Gregory went to America, and for the next 5 years he wrote poetry and learned to play the guitar. After a period of wandering he decided to become a songwriter.  He thought writing and singing was now his only means of salvation, a solitary act in which he would be free, responsible for himself alone, and yet might create a work that would give joy and understanding to others. Page is an enigmatic, charismatic  genre-bending,  label-defying artist who literally and figuratively wears many hats on the world stage from a dusty old fedora to a shinny new space helmet! Page’s unique catalog of original songs time travels from the distant past into an imagined future. Page’s music has been featured on BBC, NPR, and film and television soundtracks. He has performed multiple times at Woodford Folk festival in Australia & is currently on the verge of becoming World famous in The Netherlands.
