Julie July Band

Songs from the 'Sandy Denny Tour'.

50 Years on from the Iconic Fotheringay Album, British Folk-Rock group JJB return to the Acorn Theatre, Penzance. They 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”. Melody Maker readers twice voted her the Best British Female Singer in 1970 & 1971. Her most famous song “Who Knows Where the Time Goes?” was voted favourite folk track of all time by listeners of BBC Radio 2.

The band’s new tour features songs from the 1970 Fotheringay Album;- Pond and the Stream, Nothing More, The Sea, The Way I Feel, Winter Winds, Late November, John the Gun, Banks of the Nile, Gypsy Davey plus some old favourites.

Inspired by Sandy’s work and the wider folk, rock and blues movements of the Sixties and Seventies. The band will also perform songs from their own self-penned Albums ‘Lady of the First Light’ and the new album due for release in Summer 2021.

The line-up for 2021 features musicians with Folk-Rock roots; Dik Cadbury from 1970’s Decameron (Bass, Fiddle, Vocals), Mick Candler – Decameron, Roll Movement (Drums), John Brunsdon (Lead guitarist), William Barry (Acoustic guitar, Vocals), 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.
