The John Martyn Project - A special project where six artists come together to celebrate the music of John Martyn

The Sandy Deny Project - Her 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.

This is a special project where six artists come together to celebrate the music of John Martyn. 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.

In the wake of a special one off, sold out show in 2018 at the Camden Jazz Cafe, the group decided to take the project on tour and the warm reception its received has inspired them to continue. Since then they have regularly toured the UK and mainland Europe as well as bringing John’s music back to the festival circuit. Each tour they continue to introduce more of John’s back catalogue from ob-scure live recordings to classic favourites reworked and presented with rich harmonies and diverse instrumentation.

The Sandy Denny Project

'A brilliant concert'...'The best'...'Incredible'...'The best gig of the year'...'Magical'...''Superb'...'Wonderful'...'Sandy is alive in your performance'
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 (Little Johnny England) and drummer Mark Stevens (TRADarrr, Little Johnny England and producer) to form The Sandy Denny Project. Her 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.
