The Sandy Denny Project

Autumn 2023

 

We're going to London!!

(and lots of other news)

 

Hello and welcome to what is a bumper newsletter from

The Sandy Denny Project

The John Martyn Project and The Sandy Denny Project at the Union Chapel November 2nd 2023 - get tickets here

We're really excited to be performing at the iconic Union Chapel in London this November as part of a very special evening.

In 1972, Sandy and John toured together and this concert is marking their friendship and that collaboration.

Today would be John's 75th birthday, so we thought it would be a good day to let you all know about it!!

The John Martyn Project approaches his music in very much the same way that we perform Sandy's. Theirs is also a special project - where six artists come together to celebrate the music of John. Each brings their own story and connection to John’s music which adds to the fabric of the overall experience of the project.

This diversity of different musical paths of the musicians recreate the many different aspects and eras of Martyn’s music and is delivered in a sensitive and poignant manner.

Each tour they continue to introduce more of John’s back catalogue from obscure live recordings to classic favourites reworked and presented with rich harmonies and diverse instrumentation.

You can find out more about them on their website.

 

We'd love to see you there!

 

Tickets are available here

Sandy Denny Project - Volume 1

Enormous thanks to BBC Radio 2 and Mark Radcliffe and also BBC Shropshire and Genevieve Tudor for giving the SDP spins on their shows. Genevieve came along to SandyFest this year and interviewed Sally, Anna, Marion and PJ for an extended show which aired in August. Sadly it's not available online but take our word for it - it was lovely!

 

We are working on our online shop right now, but you can get a limited edition copy of Volume 1 by contacting us via message on our website or to Marion at marion.fleetwood1@gmail.com.

 

There are also T-shirts which we are stocking up on. If you'd like one of those, contact us (or Marion via email)

 

If you have any merch suggestions, let us know!! Tea towels? Keyrings? Tell us what you would like us to produce!

Then there will SandyFest Part 2, which will be on Saturday August 3rd, with Marion returning to duties.

Both are at Byfield Village Hall and tickets will be available soon - with a discount if you book tickets for SF1 and 2!
