Julie July Band

A celebration and tribute to Sandy Denny's defining role in British Folk-Rock Music. The Julie July Band have built a substantial reputation with reinterpretations and arrangements of the work of singer-songwriter Sandy Denny. In Sandy’s brief career she left a legacy of beautiful, haunting original and traditional compositions. Richard Thompson called her - The greatest artist of her generation. The band will perform songs from her time with the Strawbs, Fairport Convention and Sandy’s Solo albums.  Inspired by Sandy’s work and the wider folk, rock and blues movements of the 60s and 70s. The band will also perform songs from their own Folk Rock Albums 'Lady of the First Light' and 'Wonderland'. 

The line-up features musicians with Folk-Rock roots Dik Cadbury from 1970’s Decameron (Bass, Vocals), Mick Candler – Decameron, Roll Movement (Drums), Steve Rezillo (Lead Guitarist), Caley Groves (Acoustic Guitarist), Carol Lee Sampson (Keyboards, Vocals) and Julie July (Vocals). 

“Julie July and her band have delivered a first-rate collection of contemporary Folk-Rock music. Quality songs, superb vocals and forthright lyrics delivered with skill, technique and conviction. Perfectly conceived, recorded and superbly realised - this is proof that she is one of the brightest talents in the UK right now” John O’Regan Journalist & Broadcaster - fRoots, Living Tradition, LCCR.
