New material finished by Thea Gilmore is set alongside many of Sandy’s much loved and brilliant repertoire, performed by artists for whom Sandy’s work has particular resonance, to showcase the work of one of Britain’s pre-eminent female singer songwriters.

An impressive line-up of established performers and emerging stars of the traditional and contemporary music world have been brought together to celebrate and reveal a one off talent and bring Sandy Denny to new audiences.
