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.
And they smile a lot.
A MESSAGE FROM GEORGIA ROSE LUCAS
Georgia, Sandy's daughter, says:
'These pioneers of folk bring a whole lot of professional awesomeness to the table with The Sandy Denny Project
Covering some of my mum’s best work and doing an outstanding job of keeping her flame alive, these six highly talented musicians once again bring their creative musical powers together to celebrate Sandy’s genius with new shine and brilliance.
A complete list of their talents and past work would take too long to list. But think - TRADarr, trio IOTA, The Poozies, The Dylan Project. Feast of Fiddles and Little Johnny England....and.....and.....and. I'm sure you love the music as much as me so show your support and go and see this fabulous group work their magic on Sandy Denny’s songs.'
