A guitarist and songwriter, originally from Yorkshire but now residing in the south of the UK.

"I've always been a rock guitarist but through some bizarre twist of fate (and love of all guitar music), I find myself working acoustically with Celtic and traditional,music. Not just in terms of covering trad pieces but also influencing the music I've written. Perhaps I'm following the footsetps of Ritchie Blackmore....!?

I worked for several years with singer-songwriter Beck Sian (cousin to Kate Bush) playing a joint set of both our music which culminated in a wonderful night playing at the Wave Gotik Treffen festival in Leipzig. Since Beck returned to her native Australia, I've continued to focus on building my repertoire as a solo artist."


"If you are ready for something seductive, atmospheric and emotionally charged Celtic fusion music, then you better give Jonathan Kershaw a listen...." - The Celtic Music Fan Blog
