About

Anne-Marie Sanderson is a Cumbrian singer-songwriter whose music is at once earthy and airy, grounded yet ethereal. Drawing inspiration from nature, literature and her travels, Sanderson's haunting melodies and poetic lyrics mesmerise and enchant, with transportive effects on listeners.

Her new album, Old Light, has been described as "uplifting and gentle" (NARC), "articulate and ethereal" (Rocking Magpie), and "melodically divine" (BBC Introducing). With influences including Nick Drake Kate Bush and a host of under-the-radar musical peers, her intricate guitar work and captivating vocals make her a standout in the contemporary singer-songwriter scene.Anne-Marie

Johnny Campbell emerged onto the UK folk scene writing self-penned material and delving deep into Northern English folk song and story.

''A Modern-Day Billy Bragg'' - Tradfolk

The album From Hull & Halifax & Hell (2020) took him to The Faroe Islands where he recorded a live album on the island of Nolsoy. Since musical instruments hadn't arrived on the islands until the 19th century, this is perhaps the first time Northern English traditional song has been recorded on these islands.

This album earned him album of the week with Blues and Roots radio

and reviews with British folk press:
