About this event
Celebrating Sandy's genius with new shine and brilliance.
Fotheringay MkII members Sally Barker (The Poozies, BBCTV's "The Voice", IOTA) and guitarist PJ Wright (TradArrr, The Dylan Project) are joined by multi instrumentalist Marion Fleetwood (voice, fiddle, guitars – Feast of Fiddles, TRADarrr, IOTA), Gemma Shirley (keyboard and vocals – TRADarrr) and the rhythm section of bassist Mat Davies and drummer Mark Stevens from folk-rock legends Little Johnny England to form The Sandy Denny Project. Sandy Denny’s remarkable writing is approached not as a tribute band, slavishly copying the records, but as a tribute in its best sense – an interpretation of Sandy's wonderful work.
With every year Sandy's reputation continues to grow in stature as a songwriter and interpreter of traditional material, and the six musicians in the band who share an impressive folk-rock pedigree are each at the very top of their musical game. Since the band's creation in 2019, they have been hailed as one of the best performers of the works of Denny by those who knew and played with her. Their joy in performing the work of Sandy Denny is contagious, taking their audiences on an emotional musical journey through her best loved songs, leaving them dazzled.
And they smile a lot.
'A brilliant concert'…'The best'…'Incredible'…'The best gig of the year'…'Magical'…''Superb'…'Wonderful'…'Sandy is alive in your performance'
