Vince Cayo is a touring multi-instrumentalist and folk singer out of Bradford, England. Fresh out of school he hit the road and honed his trade on the roads of Europe and America, drawing inspiration from the likes of Flogging Molly, Billy Bragg and Bob Dylan.
Eventually settling in West Yorkshire, gigs started lining up across England and Europe, and connections were being made, which eventually led to an introduction to top West Yorkshire producer Grant Henderson with whom Vince would make two albums, Bound For Glory (2017) and Lucky Red Hat (2018).
“ This (Lucky Red Hat) channels some big themes into real gone songs! “ Jumbo Records
Vince Cayo is one of the most promising young folk singers in Yorkshire, having shared stages with heavyweights of the punk and folk genres in the likes of Jesse Ahern, Days N Daze, Street Dogs and the Rumjacks. His sound and performance has been described by London Celtic Punks as :
“ A strong voice that growls out at you like Tom Waits lashing it up with Shane McGowan ”
Following a few years off to pursue different musical ventures (such as Gevaudan Dogs), Vince Cayo is now back on the scene and racked up a series of gigs in the Spring of 2024 to mark his return to solo action, and enjoyed great critical acclaim. A new single “Atomic Veteran Blues” saw the light of day on the 6th of October 2024 and marked Vince’s first recorded solo work in 6 years. A third album was recorded over in the west of Ireland in the autumn of 2025, and the resulting work will be released as Vince’s third full-length on February 13th and will be called “Second Skin”.
